When Dehydrated

Becoming dehydrated is unavoidable if you choose to not drink water. Observe plants, being similar to humans in this way, if they don’t have water they stop growing wilt and die. We need a source of water, a spiritual beverage, that is equally important as the drink that relieves your thirst. This spiritual drink is mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:13 which says, “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.”

The Greek word that correlates with this verse is potizo, which is defined as made to drink. We share in the power of Christ, having His Spirit in our hearts, because we have been made to drink the living water. This spiritual water is beneficial in this crazy world for it is the only route to be in a unified body of Christ. Being refreshed with it, delivered through Jesus, you will find peace. As it tells us in John 4:10, “Jesus answered and said to her, ‘if you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” 

The reason we all need the relief is because it’s the only option for reaching eternal life. To attain this refreshing beverage, ask God and you will receive.
