Water

What exactly is this liquid that is so vital for life? What distinguishes it from other liquids on this planet? And why water?—why not hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)? Perhaps most importantly, why can we not live a day without it?

We cannot live a day without it for the same reason we cannot live a day without the living water from our Great Shepherd: it is our very life-blood—the very substance of our existence. Water composes over 80% of our bodies, and so Jesus’ words and principles should constitute equally if not greater amounts! We are to drink our Shepherd’s words and internalize them: memorizing them, meditating upon them day and night. This refreshment strengthens and restores our soul.

Even the most beautiful flower will wilt if left in the sun without water for several days. But water it and by the next morning it will have picked its head up again. Jesus said that everyone who drinks earthly water will thirst again. This is because nothing on this planet will satisfy our spiritual desire for eternal water. Only through Jesus can we find this. He says He came that we may have life, and have it abundantly. He holds out this living water to us in 783,137 words (King James Version). So open your Bible, right now, and immerse yourself in the flow of it’s cleansing, healing, sustaining water!

“Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but however drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
~ John 4:13-14
