Rev 21:6 "And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts." This verse stands out, not only in Revelation but in several other places throughout the Bible.
Our God is eternal, self-existent, always has been, always will be. He is greater than His universe He created and yet we are privileged to know Him and He graciously dwells in those who trust and believe in Him. Amazing!!
The one problem I note from this is that He says He would give the water of life freely to him who thirsts. That's the catch, how many really thirst for Him today. Too many of us are caught up in the happenings in our lives and around us, we no longer thirst for Him.
David said in Ps 42:1 "As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God." This draws, in my mind, a deer that has been chased by hounds looking for a quiet moment and refreshing water to quench its thirst. That's what David says, like that deer he pants [thirsts] for God.
Dear Father, give me a thirst that can only be quenched by You. Make me thirsty for you in this dry and barren world in which I live. Help me to seek You and find You. Help me to search for You with all my heart. For Christ's sake, Amen!
