"Jesus answered and said to her, 'Everyone who drinks of this water will thrist again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thrist; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.'" -John 4:13-14 (NASB)
During the warm days of summer it can be easy to become dehydrated. When we don't drink enough water we can become thirsty. Our bodies can react to not having enough water. We prepare ourselves to protect against our bodies feeling the impact of not drinking enough water, but we also need to protect our souls against dehydration!
Each day should bring a longing for the "living water" that only God can provide. Just as our bodies need water to function properly, our souls need to be replenished by God. Jesus provides us with the living water, the Good News about redemption through His sacrifice. We need to "drink" this living water by spending time each day in God's Word and in prayer. As our souls long for God and we take in His promises, we can become a source of water leading others to eternal life with God, the Father, and Jesus, the Son. We can help be sure that our souls and others' souls stay hydrated with the eternal, living water of God!
Don't allow your soul to become dehydrated. Seek God and the living water that only He can provide!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your living water that sustains my spirit. Help me to always seek You and to spend time with Your Word and in prayer. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
