"I said unto her, Let me drink"

Always brings my mind immediately
to Jesus and the woman at the well.

I guess it is because He is still thirsty
for us to serve Him with joy and gladnesss of heart
until He returns.

Such a small phrase in Genesis which
has me think upon so many important
lessons we learn throughout all of Scripture
concerning ...drink and water -- and
what they mean as defined by Scripture.

John 4:7 There cometh a woman of
Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith
unto her, Give me to drink.

So many times in the Bible great events happen by a well of water.

Even when great events happen around bitter water God can make the bitter sweet. Exodus 15:22-26.

I like your take on the analogy of the servant being thirsty and God being thirsty. It is true that God does thirst for worship, praise and service.

The woman at the well in John 4 also comes to mind also and if we will think a moment Jesus was thirsty for water and worship and the woman was thirsty for God's Spirit without realizing her great need for that everlasting water of life.

So many today have that same thirst but will starve to death for lack of it when it is within their reach and free for the asking.

I so enjoyed this study and the remarks by Julie and your reply. Coming to this place after a few words from you two and Connie is like a visit to the well. 8-)
