Thirsty is an interesting word. It has so many meanings, from needing a drink to being eager. I was reading something today that reminded me to drink more water. Then I started thinking about how thirst can cause our minds and bodies to fail. The same is true in a spiritual sense. If we do not quench our spiritual thirst, we will never experience the life of purpose that God planned for us. What a wasted life!

Laws of Obedience: Jesus Who?
We see Jesus represented as the Laws of Obedience in Deuteronomy. Matthew 5:17 tells us, Jesus came to fulfill the law.
