Do you find yourself struggling today?
We all struggle with many things: family, marriage, friends, jobs, finances, stress, health.
Whatever you may be struggling through, you can turn to Christ. He desires to prop you up with himself!
On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” (John 7:37, 38)
“Come to me, all of you who are weary and over-burdened, and I will give you rest! Put on my yoke and learn from me. For I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
I was also considering this verse recently – at the end and the climax of all human activities and satisfaction, the Lord still invites us to come to Him! Whether wearied or troubled, whether happy and content – we need Jesus! We need to come to Him and drink of Him! Lord, today I come to drink of You – I am thirsty!
