Parched



Psalm 143:6 NKJV    I spread out my hands to You; My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah



     Today, I went to church without putting on my lipstick.  My lips felt drier the more I thought about it.  I think now that it's not so hot, it's safe to keep some emergency lipstick in my purse.  Do you know that feeling of dry and without?
     The verse above was from my daily Bible reading today also.  It reminds us that if we ask the Lord then He will answer our pleas.  There are so many people thirsty for the River of Life and yet all they see are the oasis giving false hope and disappointment.  We are all needy for His Word but we must seek it.  Just like dehydration affects our whole body's ability to function so does doing without the Word.
    They say you should drink before you feel thirsty because if you wait, you are already dehydrated.  Seek the Living Water and you will never thirst again.
