DRINK!!!

I hope this title has gotten your attention and I also hope you read on and do not misinterpret its meaning. This morning I was thinking about the message that God has given me. He has given me this message in bits and pieces over the years, in part because He knows that I need to learn this stuff myself, before I can speak out to others. And, the most profound and effective words are the ones that He is currently teaching me. The message is always first for me and then for me to share with others. This is the reason that God lead me to write the book “The Marriage Guarantee”. In the book I have shared my heart and sole and most importantly how God has spoken to me as I have journeyed through Christian life and marriage.

But I have been saddened this morning and maybe a little frustrated. Now, I have to go out and SELL. Now comes the drinking. No, I am not talking about the bar. I am talking about leading a horse to water. But why would it ever be difficult to make them drink? Why should we have to? What could possibly be the reason that a horse or in this illustration, people would not want to DRINK? The truth is that it is much easier to lead them to the bar. You don’t even have to ask them to drink there.

So lets think this through, one reason they might not drink, is if they aren’t thirsty. Maybe they truly are drinking the water and are being led to the water too many times. But can we ever drink too much when it comes to the water of spiritual growth? So, that would lead us to a topic of complacency. I believe we should always be striving for a closer walk with God and should drink as much of that water as we can.

Another reason they might not drink is that they might believe that the water is not good. This may be the result of our marketing world. There are so many people saying “DRINK” that it may be difficult to know which water hole is the best. I guess it is true that there are some bad drinking holes and we are right to be cautious.

Finally, There are still those who will not drink. It is clear that they are thirsty. But they have found every excuse in the book to not read the book. First and most importantly, the Bible and then books that lead us to the Bible and to the Author.

So here I am leading you to water. I promise the water is good. And I think we are all more thirsty than we appear to be and once the water touches our lips, we will know that it is good and our thirst will be evident.

My final prayer is that the water I am leading you to, will give you a thirst for more directly from the creator of the water.
