Psalm 72 Are You Thirsty?

Psalm 72: 6

He (Jesus) will be like

Rain falling on a mown field,

Like showers watering the earth.

I cut the grass yesterday-

No, check that-

I ran over the yard with the lawn mower.

Everything is still a bit brown and looks…………

Well- Thirsty!

What about you guys-

Are you ready for another spring-

Are you ready to start mowing your lawns?

There’s just something about fresh cut grass-

Maybe it’s the sharpness of the manicured lines-

You know-

Where the mower has found its path,

Gliding over the top of the blades.

I love the elegance- the orderliness of it all-

It’s the earth…………………. subdued!

But there’s something else-

It’s as if the mowing has ignited some longing in the lawn.

It’s as if even the hint of rain causes the blades to rise……………..

Rise in anticipation-

Anticipation of…………….

Life!

John 4:13-14

Jesus answered,

”Everyone who drinks this well water will be thirsty again,

But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst-

Indeed the water I give you will become in you a Spring of Water

Welling up to

 Eternal Life.”

Father

Make my heart like the freshly mown lawn-

Ready for-  Anticipating- Even Longing for-

The Life Giving Spring of Jesus.

Amen
