Isaiah 49:5-10.         

Have you ever been so thirsty or so hungry that it hurt? Hunger drives us to do things that do not make sense, like giving up birth rights in exchange for stew.

Think about that time when you were hungry. Do you remember how satisfying that next food or drink was? Physical food and drink satisfy for a time but then you need to eat and drink again. If we seek after and follow God, He will lead us, guide us, and provide for us.

This promise in Isaiah gives us hope and reminds us that even if we experience physical hunger or thirst, Christ offers living water. Through our relationship with Him, we have hope and the promise of life everlasting with Him. Even though we will experience hunger and pain in this world, Christ is always walking with us through the Holy Spirit. Christ has compassion on us.

As He walks with us, He guides us to springs of water. As we journey with Christ, He will guide us in the way everlasting.

Today, remember, in Christ we have hope.
