Living Water!
Scripture: John 4:14 (NKJV)- "but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life".
In the hustle and bustle of this life it's easy to forget your daily serving of water. According to Mayo Clinic the daily recommended water intake is about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids for men and about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women. When is the last time you have consistently met that target? I'm not sure the last time I did.
Humans can't go very long without water before there is organ dysfunction and ultimately death. According to businessinsider.com, 3 to 4 days is the typical amount of time one can survive without water.
So it is, also, with our spiritual lives. We can't go very long without the water that Jesus gives. Thankfully, Jesus has promised to give us of the water of life that we may drink freely (Revelation 21:6; 22:17). All we have to do is "Come!". Jesus assures us saying "the one who comes to Me, I will by no means cast out." (John 6:37) Isn't that wonderful news?!
Jesus' Holy Spirit is that water that Jesus bids us come drink and all we have to do is ask and believe and "out of our hearts will flow rivers of living water" (John 7:38)
Join me in a prayer for that living water after which our hearts pant.
Prayer: Dear Jesus, We come before you thankful for this gift of living water. Fill us until we overflow, In Jesus' name, Amen.
