I
recently read these 6 intriguing facts about water:
1. 75%
of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
2. In
37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for
hunger.
3. One
glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the
dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
4. Lack
of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
5.
Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could
significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
6. A
mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory.
Even
worse, though, is the fact that many are spiritually dehydrated. In John 7:37
Jesus gives this invitation: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.”
1. It
is probably fair to guess that 75% of Americans are spiritually thirsty.
2. Once
spiritual dehydration begins to occur, we think we are “hungry” and we look for
things that will satisfy our cravings.
3. A
refreshing glass of Jesus’ Living Water will end the cravings for 100% of His
followers.
4. Spiritual
dehydration makes you spiritually fatigued; you won’t feel like doing your work
in the Great Commission.
5.
Living Water can ease the pain and suffering when our hearts get broken.
6. It
also contributes to memory loss as forgiveness occurs. We can forget those
things that are behind and press on towards the mark.
No one
is promising you an easy life, but when you can say like David “my cup runneth
over,” then life is easier. Having Jesus in your life is the best way to live.
Do you need Him to refill your cup?
