Thought for Today

Sometimes life can seem like an arid desert. But God can quench our spiritual thirst in the most

unlikely circumstances. When by faith we believe the promises of God's Word, we can experience

]rivers of living water and grace for our daily needs. -Dennis Fisher Help us to place our trust in

You, Lord. You are what our heart thirsts after. Only Jesus, the Living Water, can satisfy our

thirst for God. From Our Daily Bread
