Never Thirst Again, Part 3
Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:9-14
And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them. Nehemiah 9:15
Drought is a condition that results when the average rainfall for an area drops far below the normal amount for a long period of time. In areas that are not irrigated, the lack of rain causes farm crops to wither and die. Higher than normal temperatures usually accompany periods of drought. These high temperatures increase the stresses on plants and add to the crop damage. Forest and grass fires are more frequent and spread quickly due to the dry conditions. Streams, ponds, and wells often dry up during a drought, and animals suffer and may even die because of the lack of water.
Drought ranks as the chief cause of famine. Famine results in crop failure. Crop failure results in food shortages. Food shortages result in starvation.
The answer for famine is bread and the answer for drought is water. It is God who gives us bread when we are hungry and water when we are thirsty. The bread from heaven that we need for our hunger is Jesus. The rock that the water comes from is Jesus. All you need is Jesus. In John 6:47-48, Jesus said: "I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life. I am the bread of life." When the Jews were in the desert for 40 years, twice Moses struck a rock, and twice water gushed out of the rock for the people to drink (Num 20:1-13; Exodus 17:1-6). The rock is a manifest type of Christ: “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ” (1 Corinthians 10:4). My friend, make Jesus your desire and never thirst again.
