Water in the Desert Jul 31 2007
"...the water I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." - John 4:14
If you've ever traveled through the desert, you'll notice that it's mile after mile of dry and barren landscape. Then suddenly, there's a spot of green, some trees, bushes, and flowering plants. It always means there's some kind of water source nearby. With water, the desert blossoms and comes to life.
The same is true in our lives. Without God, we tend to dry up when life gets hard. It saps us of all our energy, creativity and drive. We eventually feel beaten down, worn out, and dried up. But Jesus says, "I am living water; anyone who accepts me will never be thirsty again." He wasn't talking about physical thirst. He was talking about satisfying our spiritual thirst so we can blossom and come to life.
What about it? Do you sometimes feel like a dry, dusty shrub in a desert of emptiness? Come to Christ and enjoy a cool drink of water whenever you need it.

Yes, report it NevermindThis is exactly true, "He was talking about satisfying our spiritual thirst so we can blossom and come to life". I believe that when we've received Christ this scripture is proof of our salvation that we won't go looking else where we will rest in the Fathers hand and will not be taken out. Thank you Jesus

Yes, report it NevermindI am refreshed through Christ when I do daily Bible study and read devotionals such as this one. Thanks for being a guide to where living water may be found. Thanks also for the link through the Scripture reference to Bible Gateway.

Yes, report it NevermindPlease pray for me - we are going thru a difficult time and need encouragement and renewed faith. The devil's firey arrows seem to be getting thru the shield. Thank you
