The Thought For Today

Encouraging You Through God's Word

To thirst for Christ is to desire Him more than life itself. In Matthew 6:21 it says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

To thirst for Christ is to die to your will and your way. In Matthew 10:33 it says, “But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.”

To thirst for Christ is to bear your cross. Christ said in Matthew 10:38, “Whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.”

To truly know that you thirst for Christ, ask yourself…. “Am I giving Jesus all of me?”, “Is my soul following hard after him?” and “Am I fully committed to the Lord?”

Examine yourself daily to see if you thirst for Him.

Search myself and go deeper…. Am I reading and studying God’s word daily? How is my prayer life? Who is on the throne of my heart? Is my all (my will, my decisions, my life) on the altar?
