“Drawing Upon the Living Water”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

by Dona Hake

 
It is surely a fact that man without Christ lives in a state of never being truly satisfied. It is only the Lord that can fill the needs of every man’s heart. The Lord knows us inside and out, and only He can satisfy the thirst of our souls. Jesus explained to the woman at the well the meaning of the true living water that only He gives.
 

 

John 4:13-14

Amplified Bible

“Jesus answered her, All who drink of

this water will be thirsty again.

But whoever takes a drink of the water that
I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty
any more. But the water that I will give him shall
become a spring of water welling up
(flowing, bubbling) [continually] within
him unto (into, for) eternal life.”
 
 
 

When you feel life’s problems and this world draining you of your strength and peace, stop and drink of His water for it  will strengthen and refresh your soul.  Know that it is  the water of continual flow for  this scripture translation says, His water “shall become a spring of water welling up,  flowing, bubbling, continually…”    This gives such a beautiful image of His living water within us.  It truly is the life flow from which we can draw upon whenever we meet  uncertainty and overwhelming problems.  God is gracious and He ever lives to pour forth that living water to you!  Today I encourage you to lift your eyes and heart to Him.    Permit Him to pour His refreshing life into you.    Oh that our cups would spill over that we can refresh and lift up those around us!
