Daily Inspiration: Turn To God


This was compiled by Jeff Lawton.

In our daily lives, we are quick to satisfy our desires. When we are hungry, we make every attempt to eat as quickly as possible. When we are thirsty, we head for the water fountain.

When we are lonely, we call a friend or a family member. However, as Christians, sometimes we fail to recognize what our greatest needs are and who can satisfy them. The emptiness we sometimes feel can only be filled by God. Even after we come to know Christ, we may struggle to recognize that emptiness is a sign we need to turn to Him.

The world throws so many different things in our faces that we can look at everything zipping by and mistakenly believe it will satisfy us. Maybe we seek fulfillment in our relationships with others. Maybe we are seeking fulfillment in our jobs or through financial success. So we chase after these things with reckless abandon. An intimate relationship with God is the only thing that will satisfy every need we have.

He is the One who transforms our hearts and minds, bringing us unspeakable joy even in the midst of what seems like our darkest hours. He is the One who quenches the thirst of our souls by showing us how much He loves us and cares for us.

He knows what You need, and He knows exactly how to meet you where you are. If you are thirsty, remember God is the source that quenches. He wants you to drink in Him and fulfill your heart’s desires.

Revelations 7:17

17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
