A DIFFERENT STORY

Numbers 14: 17-24

Do you ever feel like you just HAVE to know God better? Like there is something in you that makes you squirm with discontent (a holy discontent, i think) because there is so much more to know about this One you call God? And you know your life can't stay the same anymore. It has to change. But it's good.

Last night i felt that discontent. That squirm in my soul. I started reading a really good book called Finding God, by Larry Crabb. I read about three pages and then had to set it down because i noticed something inside me that i haven't felt in a long, long, time. A deep thirst for the living water.

So as i read this passage this morning, i hurt for the Isrealites who didn't think God was as big as those giants in the new land. I hurt because i was in their shoes (or sandals) about a week ago. Sometimes we just don't drink the water we're freely given. Even when it's living water.

But oh, i love being thirsty. And i don't know if i am yet, but with all my heart i want to be a Caleb.
Following God passionately, and trusting him completely. Even with the giants.
