I was drinking one of my 42 bottles of water that I literally have to force myself to drink. I HATE drinking water. My body screams for a citrus-y sip of Dt. Mountain Dew. Water is so boring. So bland. But since I gave up pop on December 31st at 11:59, I have promised not to go back.
One day I took a drink of water and something hit me: I don't realize how thirsty I am until I take that first drink of water. It's not until I'm 5 big gulps in that I'm thinking, "holy smokies, I was so thirsty!" I think I'm the same way with the Lord. Especially during praise and worship. I don't realize how thirsty I am for God until I get into praise and worship. It's totally my favorite time of church. I love the word, don't get me wrong, but there is something so intimate about worship. It's just me and Jesus. Packed sanctuary or not. But that's how I feel while drinking water. Praise and worship, spending time with the Lord, is my bottle of water. I can feel the last song getting ready to close and I want more. I want to signal the praise and worship leader and say, "C'mon! Please, just one more!" All good things must come to an end I guess. It makes me look forward to the next time. When I get in, take a sip, and keep drinking because I didn't realize how thirsty I was.
