Thirsting for Words of Wisdom
When a man walks through the desert, he becomes parched and thirsts for water. But if he is searching for wisdom, he may encounter a different type of thirst that only the Truth—Christ Himself—can satisfy. This second scenario reminded me of these words of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, as he reflected on his time in prison: “Since then I have come to understand the truth of all the religions of the world: They struggle with the evil inside a human being (inside every human being). It is impossible to expel evil from the world in its entirety, but it is possible to constrict it within each person.”
