Thirsty

Saudi Arabia is one of the countries of the world where water is a scarce commodity. In the interior, it can happen that no rain falls over a period of years. For this reason, they are looking into the question of whether icebergs can be towed from the South Pole to the coasts of Arabia. In the meantime, an application for a patent has been lodged for technology developed to hinder excessive loss of water during transport through melting or breaking. Should the project succeed, it would mean that fruitful fields and gardens could change the face of Arabia’s deserts.

The Bible speaks of water for thirsty people and dry lands. “For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground” (Isaiah 44:3). But, above all, there is the water of life to quench our spiritual thirst. The Lord Jesus said to the woman who came to Sychar’s well, “Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:13-14). Have you responded, like she did, and said, “Give me this water, that I thirst not” (John 4:15)?
