Drink from the world’s well and be parched. Drink from the Living Waters God offers and never thirst again!
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6
In 2 Samuel 23, David longed for a drink of water from the well at Bethlehem. Three of David’s valiant men risked their lives to get David a drink. They broke through some of the Philistines and brought a drink to David. They risked their lives for Him but he would not drink it, but why not?
Two thoughts here:
One; David did not want to send a message it was okay for the men to risk their lives for such a commodity. He didn’t want them to lose any men due to someone wanting something trivial as water from a certain well. He valued their lives more than a drink of water. While that sounds noble, it may be even a deeper thought here.
Secondly, maybe David wasn’t talking about physical water. Maybe he wanted the spiritual water from the Lord Jesus. You see Jesus was born in Bethlehem; The Living Well was given to all men. Everyone who drinks from this well will find that their thirst is quenched for all eternity, John 6:35 says, “And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.”
Are you thirsty for Christmas? If you are then GET UP, GET READY and GO TO CHURCH! Get filled up on His righteousness!
