Some of you who live in the city may never have seen a spring, but those who get out among the hills and streams will find here and there a spring of clear cold water bubbling up from the ground, or from between the rocks.
We all get thirsty, and when out walking on a warm day, we are pleased to run across one of these refreshing springs.
Many people who live in the country carry from some spring nearby, all the water they use.
But it is our bodies that thirst for this kind of water. When we learn what poor, sinful creatures we are, and how little there is in this world to satisfy us, we find our souls growing thirsty for something.
Dear reader, God tells us how we can satisfy this thirst. Jesus says,
Is your soul thirsty? Then come to Jesus. The invitation is to nil. “If any man thirst.” "Whosoever zvill.”
And the invitation is free. It cost the Lord Jesus all the sufferings and agony of the cross, but it costs you nothing.
“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money.” Isa. 55:11Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. (Isaiah 55:1).
