Got 10 Minutes

“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.” Isaiah 55:1 (NIV)
As summer days get warmer, there’s often nothing quite as refreshing as a cool glass of water. A little ice, a splash of lemon, and you’re cooler and happier. Water is something we can never take for granted, knowing as we do that much of the world suffers from a lack of good clean water.
As Thomas Fuller said, “We never know the worth of water till the well is dry.”
Every day that you choose to meet Jesus for just 10 minutes though is like going to the well and getting a generous cup of water, Living Water, the kind that will always refresh you and never leave you thirsty again. It’s everlasting water that God faithfully shares with you throughout your life.
If you’ve got a little dryness in your throat today, grab your Bible and a cup, ready to be refilled, refreshed and reenergized by the grace of Him who can truly make a difference in your life. Come to the water and quench your thirst. Jesus is already at the well waiting for you.
Prayer
Lord, I am so thankful that You are always near to refresh my spirit and draw me closer to You. Help me to spend time in Your word and share Your love with others who may yet be thirsty. Amen.
