From the Heart

Psalm 42:1 “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God.”

We need water every day. Water makes up 50-65 percent of a man’s body weight and 45-60 percent for women. To keep our bodies in the normal range, we need to drink a half gallon of water a day. All this water protects our tissues, joints, and spiral cord. It aids our digestion and helps remove water. Every part of our body needs water.

Without water, dehydration kicks in and that is not good for the body because it is dependent on water. Dry mouth, headaches, dry skin, dizziness, muscle cramps, and being tired are all signs we need water. We can get by for several days without food, but water is a different matter.

Most people can only survive three to five days without water.

There are many of us that experience spiritual dehydration. We need daily contact with our Heavenly Father. When we are short tempered with individuals, and life is just not going smoothly these are signs that we need to be nourished through time with the Lord. We need to come to the well of prayer and spend time at the still waters and encounter the living God.

Just as we need water every day, we need the Lord everyday also.
