LOVE WORTH FINDING 2 AUGUST 2024 FRIDAY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE BY ADRIAN ROGERS
TOPIC: God Created a Thirst in You
“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” – 1 Corinthians 15:10
PONDER THIS
If there’d been some other way for you to be saved apart from the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, do you think God would have taken it? Be reasonable. Are you going to tell me that God allowed His precious Son to die the most humiliating, agonizing death a man has ever known, when there was some other way for us to be saved?
The beautiful thing about the Gospel is that God thought it and Jesus bought it. God planned it out; it didn’t originate with Man. And Jesus bought it with His own precious blood. The only reason you seek the Lord is because He first sought you. Don’t get the idea that you thought it up by yourself.
Romans 3:11 says, “There is none who seeks after God.” You may ask, “But why then do I have this hunger? Why do I have this thirst for God?” Because He gave it to you. Let’s think about a natural thirst. We all get thirsty for liquid. Why do we get thirsty? Because God created us where we would have a thirst. Had God not created us with thirst, we would never get thirsty. The thirst for God in you is a gift of God. It pleased God to do this. So, the grace that saved you is from the God who loves you and is seeking for you.
- Why is it important for us to remember that salvation is God’s idea?
- When was a time you were thirsty for God?
PRACTICE THIS
Pray and ask God to grow your thirst for Him.
