The G Series

When walking or working out, an athlete friend of mine recommended that I drink Gatorade to quench my thirst and to avoid cramping that sometimes come from exercising. Gatorade developed the G Series, a drink designed to rehydrate, replenish and refuel, for athletes and high performance activities. Gatorade works in three stages:

1. Prime
2. Perform
3. Recover

This drink contains electrolytes and carbs. It is tagged “The Thirst Quencher!” Indeed while walking, working out in my Zumba class or when I need an energy boost due to dehydration, I whip out my favorite flavor of Gatorade and drink away.

The good folks at Gatorade probably did not intend for their “G Series” to have any spiritual significance to it, but metaphorically speaking it gave me a special message. My personal “G Series” is my God Series. When I get spiritually thirsty, I have to rely on the Living Water to quench my parched spirit. I am reminded of this verse from John 4:14:

“But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”

The parts of my G Series are (1) Gratitude, (2) Giving and (3) Glorifying God. I learned throughout my years of continued spiritual growth that whenever I want to quench my spiritual thirst, I go for my “G Series” bottle to satisfy my thirst.
