At the dinner table my four year old nephew asked his mother for some water to drink. Her silly reply to her son was "Not today. No water today." His eyes got big and he said, "Mom! Without water we can't live. We'll die!" She gave him the water of course. But for all of us who were standing by and very amused with his serious efforts in reasoning with his mother, I wonder what else we could pull from his reaction?
Do we ask God for what we need? Do we believe His intentions toward us are good and life? Do we see His word as so necessary to our lives, it's like water to a thirsty soul? Do we realize how critical our need is for God's word? Without it, we die.
