"My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God… while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?" (Psalm 42:2,3). "If thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding… Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God" (Proverbs 2:3,5). "Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys… O backsliding daughter?" (Jeremiah 49:4). "Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ… thou owest unto Me even thine own self besides" (Philemon 3,19).
There is a thirst
within our hearts
That mockers
cannot understand.
The living water
God imparts
Has satisfied us
in this land.
"Where is
thy God?" the scorners say,
In spite of all
the evidence
Throughout
creation on display;
Their hearts are
void of common sense!
They glory in a well
that's dry
That cannot help
them to discern
Their need that
Christ would satisfy
If only they would
to Him turn.
O Lord, as we have
been discerning
This valley's dryness
here below,
Your grace and
peace that we are learning
Teach us how
much to You we owe!
