Psalm 107:5 Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.
Have you ever been involved in running long distances, like a marathon or half marathon in boiling temperatures?
It is one thing to run long distances in cool weather but something entirely different to run in very hot and humid weather; your body feels totally drained long before it should!
Now take that feeling of your physical self and apply it to your spiritual self by thinking of a time when you starved yourself of God’s comfort because you were too busy doing something else.
During a long run you have to take on water or you will faint. During a spiritual drought you need to take on God’s water or you will faint!
