Ages by Influence Music: Trusting the One Who Was and Is, and Is to ComeSample

Never Run Dry

Lyric:  "One cup and I come alive!"

“Lord, I am sick of living without the fullness of your presence.” I was sitting at my piano when those words came out of my mouth. They were blunt, but they were true. Despite traveling the world and ministering in different churches, I had found myself at a place where something inside of me was desperate for more. More of His presence, more revelation, and more of His Glory. 

We see this type of desperation bubble up in the heart of God’s people all throughout scripture, one of my favorites being David in Psalm 63 saying, “O God, You are my God, earnestly I seek you, my soul thirsts for you…” It seems like humanity has always had a predisposition to getting drained. Whether it’s the mundane responsibilities of normal life or navigating stressful times of crisis, our souls were never designed to carry these burdens without the help of God. 

In John 4, we find Jesus extending an invitation to a woman at a well who was dealing with quite a bit of drama herself. After asking her for a drink, He said,  “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” This living water is the solution God gave humanity for the discomfort of a parched soul. This living water is where we go when our trust is running low. The good news is, the invitation He extended to this woman, He extends to you and me today! The Bible promises that God gives us unlimited access to Himself, if we seek Him with all of our hearts. Let’s drink from the well that never runs dry.
