What are you thirsting for?
tions were a foreign concept
to me. I soon learned all of
the “ins and outs” of the car
inspection process.
Another change that I
was not expecting was how
often I would have to cut
my grass. In Columbia, al-
cutting the grass the first
thing I do when I come into
the house is pour me a nice
large glass of Gatorade.
Nothing seems to satisfy a
sweaty, grassy thirst like
that magical formula of glu-
cose and water. If I were to
God’s creation experiences
this yearning. However, we
are so often prone to try
quenching the thirst of our
souls with poor substitutes.

Only Jesus can you give
you the type of satisfaction
that lasts. Only Jesus offers
a well that never runs dry.
All others are like drinking
a poor Gatorade substitute
on a hot summer day. It
tastes good and satisfies for
a little while but it’s a poor
replacement for the real
thing.

of your body. But not only
does your body thirst for
water, so does your soul
thirst for God.
Psalm 25:1 says, “To
you, O Lord, I lift up my
soul’ (ESV). This is an atti-
tude of thirst that David is
advocating. His every
breath is anticipating a God-
quenching satisfaction for
die. Therefore, in the peak
grass growing spring and
summer months one only
has to cut his grass every
three weeks or so. You can
imagine my surprise when I
moved into the house where
I now live and a mere one
week after the grass had
been cut it was thick and
halfway up my legs. I could
not kill the grass if I tried!

there were several changes
that awaited me that were
somewhat unexpected. The
first change was the fact
that I had to take a driver’s
test (for the first time since I
was 15 years old) in order to
get my license. Then I dis-
covered that I had to get my
car inspected. Being from
