Are you thirsty?

This morning in chapel the pastor was talking about following the invitation Jesus gave in John 7:37-38:
“If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink, ‘He who believes in Me’, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’”
The speaker’s main focus was on salvation, but he was also talking to those of us who are Christ followers who are no longer thirsty. In fact some of us have become dehydrated spiritually for not drinking from the fount of Living Water. Any one athlete who is dehydrated is no good to the team or to himself. We are no good in the spiritual race we are in or in our lives as Christians if we are not constantly taking in the Word of God and letting it penetrate our souls and change the way we live. The above verse says we are to flow rivers of living water from our lives. We are to create thirst for Christ in other people. This is not possible if we are dry ourselves. So I ask you the questions I’ve been asking myself:
1) Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?
2) Is this walk with Christ evident in the way you live?
3) Does God’s Word affect the way you live today?
4) Do you know Him more intimately now than you did six months ago?
5) Are you thirsty?
I challenge you to follow Christ with reckless abandon and see what He can do to create a thirst in someone else through you.
