LIVING WATER
My experience with dehydration gives me a new appreciation for Jesus’
invitation: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink” (John 7:37). His
announcement was dramatic, particularly in terms of the timing. John notes that
it was the last day of the “great feast”—the annual festival commemorating the
wandering of the Jews in the wilderness—which climaxed with a ceremonial
pouring of water down the temple steps to recall God’s provision of water for
the thirsty wanderers. At that point, Jesus rose and proclaimed that He is the
water we all desperately need.
Living like we really need Jesus—talking to Him and depending on
His wisdom—is vital to our spiritual well-being. So, stay connected to Jesus,
for He alone can satisfy your thirsty soul!
Dear Lord, forgive me for thinking that I can do life
without the water of Your presence, advice, counsel,
comfort, and conviction. Thank You that You are
indeed the living water that I so desperately need.
Come
to Jesus for the refreshing power of His living water
without the water of Your presence, advice, counsel,
comfort, and conviction. Thank You that You are
indeed the living water that I so desperately need.
