John 7:37-38: Thirsting
Wednesday, August 13, 2025
Today we pause in our time with Job to reflect on the Messiah’s promise that those who thirst will be sated.
Whoever is thirsty should come to me, and whoever believes in me should drink. (GNT)
We remember that Job seeks wisdom and holds on to the hope of God’s promise that the Messiah will fill those who hunger.
Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink. (NRSV)
We know that God’s promise to Job is the same promise to us. Those who are burdened can rely on the Messiah, God Among Us.
If anyone is thirsty, let him keep coming to me and drinking! Whoever puts his trust in me, as the Scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from his inmost being! (CJB)
We experience the presence of the Spirit in all that surrounds us.
Jesus cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Rivers of living water will brim and spill out of the depths of anyone who believes in me this way, just as the Scripture says.” (MSG)
We see that God’s promise of sustenance is guaranteed to those who seek. Let us rejoice in this wisdom of God.
When we compare varying translations of these verses, we have occasion to rejoice in the wisdom of God.
Tomorrow, making our defense.
