Apple Cider
“Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And
you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk Without money
and without cost." (Isaiah 55:1, NASB95)
On a hot fall day our high school marching band took part in the Apple Festival
in Chilhowie, Virginia. We marched in a parade then waited around for our time
to compete in the field competition. After that parade I was hot and thirsty. I
went to a vendor who had cans of soft drinks. This is where I saw my first Mr.
Pibb. It was good and cold but did not quench my thirst. Then I saw a vendor who
had bottles of ice cold apple cider. I bought one of these and that hit the
spot.
We are created with a thirst but most don't know what will quench that spiritual
thirst. We may try different things but they don't quench it completely. Then we
go on to something else which we think might fill that hole in us. But Jesus
Christ is the only one that can really quench our spiritual thirst.
There is a cost to what quenches our thirst. But that cost is not ours. We can
quench our spiritual thirst for free. But to quench this thirst it cost Jesus
Christ His life. He gave His life so we could be filled without cost.
Let us all partake of Jesus Christ to quench our thirst. And let us share Him
with others so they may know what will truly quench their thirst.
Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, we thank you for giving Your life for us. Thank You
for offering Yourself to quench our thirst. Help us to continually drink from
Your supply. Help us to let others know that You are the only One who can quench
their thirst. Amen.
