Good Monday Morning Blog Family. Praying everyone had a great weekend and ready start a new week with God. Hallelujah!
I have two green plants sitting on my dining room table in front of the window. One day I was walking by them and I noticed they were a little droopy and needing to be watered. So, I proceeded to water them and within a few hours, I noticed they were standing tall and flourishing once again. Now that they have been watered and cared for, they are so green and beautiful.
As I was caring for my plants, I thought about our lives as Christians. How when we are weak and drooping, that is when we need to take a drink of the Living Water that comes from Jesus. Once we have taken that drink, like my plants. We began standing tall and flourishing once again in Jesus.
John 4:6-14 reads, 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
So, have you had your drink of Living Water today? If not, it’s probably time for a drink. God Bless 🙂
