John 7:37-39 If you're thirsty, you will find something to drink. Thirst is not easy to ignore. I remember in boot camp at the rifle range at Camp Matthews, California. It was August in Southern California, and it was hot!! Some of the guys got so thirsty that while the Drill Instructor was out of the area, they drank water from the truck radiator - fortunately there was no antifreeze in the radiator. The important question is: What are you thirsty for? Matthew 5:6 reads, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled." If you're thirsty for God, He'll see that your get your thirst quenched. On the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus said: "If any man is thirsty, let him keep coming to me to drink." (John 7:37 - literal) "On each of the seven preceding days water was drawn in a golden pitcher from the pool of Siloam and carried in procession to the temple and offered by the priests as the singers chanted Isaiah 12:3: "With joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation."* Jesus identifies Himself as the object and fulfillment of the Feast. He goes on to say of the ones who believe in Him that out of their inmost beings will flow rivers of Living Water and that the Holy Spirit would be the source of that flow. Just as the pouring of the water at the feast was an occasion for joy, so it is with the flow of the Holy Spirit in our lives. As that Living Water wells up and overflows from us, it also flows out to a thirsty and dying world. The description "Living Water" implies that it is flowing water, not pooled up and stagnant. Ephesians 5:18 instructs us not to be drunk with wine ... but to be being filled with the Holy Spirit. Do you want to be filled with the Holy Spirit and power? Get thirsty for it! Believe in and drink from Jesus through the Word and worship and prayer. Don't give up until your thirst is quenched and then keep drinking. Let the surplus flow out to the ones you touch. Hallelujah!! *(Jewish New Testament Commentary, p176)
