I am always encouraged and blessed when I am reminded that Jesus refers to himself as "Living Water" (John 4:10). Referring to the Holy Spirit, Jesus says "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." (John 7:37-38) Indeed, the Scriptures are full of references to Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Word of God all as living water. "...For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." (Revelation 7:17)
Do you ever feel thirsty? Thirsty for the things of God... the Holy Spirit? You may attend church on a regular basis, you may listen to Christian songs on the radio; you may even pray at mealtimes or before bedtime. All of these are wonderful... but where is your heart? Do you seek the presence of the Holy Spirit with all of your heart? Do you sincerely hope and wish with everything that you are to BE with the Holy Spirit? Do you thirst?
Jesus tells us very simply to come and drink. Seek His presence. Seek the Holy Spirit in your heart and He will meet you there... with abundant, endless streams of the Living Water... you will never again be thirsty. Why would you want it any other way?!?
Today, right now, pray that the Lord God would hear your cry for Living Water... that He would lead you to that stream... and then listen, follow, read the Scriptures... and never stop drinking from that well!
Blessings,
