Reading: 2 Samuel 9:1-5; John 4:1-26

Devotional: Lo-Debar means "no pasture"—a place of barrenness and survival without purpose. Mephibosheth hid there, unaware that the king was searching for him. Many believers today live in spiritual Lo-Debar, going through religious motions while their souls remain malnourished. Like the woman at the well, they search for satisfaction in empty cisterns. She had five failed relationships; you may have five failed attempts to fill the God-shaped void within. Jesus told her, "Everyone who drinks this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks the water I give will never thirst." Stop settling for survival mode.

The King is seeking you—not to condemn, but to restore. What barren place have you been hiding in? Today, acknowledge your spiritual thirst and turn toward the Living Water.
