240902 Thirsty?

 Thirsty?

You can lead a horse to water

But you can not make him drink

That's true in more life circumstance 

Than we might even think

If a horse doesn't perceive the need

Of what you're offering 

No matter how you push and prod

He just won't drink a thing

People behave the exact way

As horses sometimes do

Refusing to drink of the thing

You try to lead them to

No matter how enticing

That you find the thing to be

To drink of it, they will not do

If they are not thirsty

In raising kids, this often is

A common scenario 

Try leading them on straight path 

That they do not want to go

And so you find you push and prod

Use your authority

Yet, it would be much easier

If they were just thirsty

And since we're sure we know what's best

We discipline or plead

Yet, they'll be more cooperative

When they finally see the need

So, when's the time a horse will drink?

When he is ready to

Until that time, he will refuse

No matter what you do

And, what about God's children 

For his Word can quench all thirst

Some still refuse to drink it

For they must desire it first

God offers living water

Yet, he'll never beg or plead

He'll lead you to still waters

But you have to see the need

So, if you're feeling thirsty

And found world is not the quencher

Then, seek God's living water

And begin divine adventure
