Today's Bible Study
In this verse, Jesus talks about His ability to satisfy the thirst of every person. He knows exactly what we need, and He created us with desires that will only ever be met in Him. When we come to Him, our thirst will be quenched.

What are you thirsty for? Love? Attention? Praise? A kind word? These are not wrong desires -- we were made with them in our being. Each person has different wants and needs, and the Lord created us uniquely. Regardless of your particular desires, it's pretty safe to assume that you want something. We all do!

Where people (including me) often fall into trouble is by trying to get those normal human needs met in the wrong places. Social media obsessions, unhealthy relationships, and a preoccupation with our image, work, or status can result from our trying to meet our desires in the wrong places.





The right place to go to meet our needs is the Lord. When we spend time with Him, we learn about His character as well as how He loves us. He loves us enough to speak to us personally through His Word. The Holy Spirit intercedes for us when we pray. Jesus, the Son of God, endured a horrific death -- a crucifixion -- so that we could have a relationship with Him. This is how much He cares for us.

When we fill ourselves up with scripture and truths from His Word, our eyes will be opened to how the Lord feels about us. He sees us as friends and His children, and He loves us more than we can ever know. Regardless of what circumstances we find ourselves in, when we go to the Lord, we will find our thirsts quenched in His presence.

Today's Prayer
Dear Lord, thank you so much for quenching my thirst. Help me to realize when I am trying to get my needs met in something or someone other than you. I want to run to you for living water, not get caught up in this world. I love you, Jesus. In your name, amen.

Yesterday's Bible Study
In this verse from the prophet Haggai, we learn about the future for the Israelites. When Jesus, the Messiah, comes, the Lord will "shake all nations" and meet all of their desires, and glory will fill the earth. Jesus's arrival will be the biggest event in human history, leaving no heart or mind or nation unchanged.

The verse begins by saying that Jesus will shake all nations. This means His arrival will change the entire earth fundamentally. No nation will be the same after He has come! His arrival announces a new era that will be very different from the old one.

Jesus will fill the desires of the nations. In other words, He will be the one to meet the needs of all the people on Earth. No one but He is able to satisfy the people. Through Him, all the nations of the earth will be blessed. They will find themselves in Him.
