Practical Applications
of God’s Word
Part 8 — Refreshment
“O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly”
(Song of Solomon 5:1).
Have you had a drink from the Word of God today? If not, you are a thirsty Christian, your soul is parched and you are spiritually dehydrated. What a sad condition to be in when there is so much refreshment available on a daily basis! Stop now and take a drink of “cold waters to a thirsty soul” (Proverbs 25:25). When the Lord was talking to the woman at Sychar’swell, He said: “Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst” (John 4:13-14).
A thirsty person seeks to have his thirst quenched. The “living water” satisfies our thirst completely, not just for a moment but for eternity. And more than that, it is free. The Lord Jesus says: “I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely” (Revelation 21:6).
Learn to drink from the Word of God every single day … yes, more than just once a day. You don’t take a glass of water in the morning and expect it to last all day. Discipline yourself to drink again and again … and again!
