S: Revelation 21:6
He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life."
O: Jesus is the water of life. In John 4 Jesus promises to give the woman living water: John 4:14 “but whoever 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.” Jesus is the living water. Here again to those who are thirsty is the promise of a drink from the spring of the water of life.
A: I remember so well when I first tasted that living water in my own life. I was in the 7th grade. Since then I find my life goes through times of drought when I lose touch with that living water.
I do not rebel with my fist shaking at God. Rather for me, while still doing the things of a pastor, I let life crowd in on my walk with God. For me it more like being in a boat without an anchor. I just drift spiritually.
Then one day I realize there are sharp edges in my life. My soul is thirsty for that living water again. I lack a deep peace while living a very hectic life.
I am grateful this morning the Lord offers once again to me a chance to drink from the spring of the water of life…and without cost. It is, again, a free gift.
P: Lord, thank you for this day. Thank you for allowing me to drink again living water during this quiet time with you. You are so gracious to me and I know there are times I do not deserve your grace. Help me so to live that others will see that living water in my life. Help me to extend grace to all those who cross my path. Love, Dick
Y: I yield my life being so busy that I miss the living water.
