Good day to ya everyone. This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. I feel real good in my sanctified soul today so put your bib on and get ready.
Today’s Prayer
Dear Lord Jesus, how do You love us? Let me count the ways — enough to bless us, to always be with us, to heal our wounds, to strengthen us, to give Your life for us! How do we love You? Enough to praise You in all things, to be obedient, to serve You? Enough to commit our lives to You? Oh Lord, help us to love You enough to never count the cost. You didn’t. In Your holy name I pray, Amen.
Let’s eat.
The Water of Life
It’s Source – in God
Jeremiah 2:13
For my people have done two evil things: They have abandoned me—the fountain of living water. And they have dug for themselves cracked cisterns that can hold no water at all!
Psalms 36:9
For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see.
It’s Flow – from Christ
John 4:14
But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”
Revelation 22:1
Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
It’s Channels – through Believers
John 7:38-39
Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” (When he said “living water,” he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him. But the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet entered into his glory.)
It’s Receivers – the Thirsty
Isaiah 55:1
“Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink—even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine or milk—it’s all free!
Revelation 21:6
And he also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life.
Quote of the Day
If we know Him by the revelation of the Holy Spirit and in our daily experience of Him as a personal loving heavenly Father, and are acquainted with both His gentleness and His awesome holiness, we will run to Him as children with open arms and yet deepest respect. The most important Person who ever existed loves you and me! The Creator of the universe has revealed Himself as having the tender heart of loving Father, and has by his Spirit made us His true-born children. He knows your name, He knows my name, He laughs and weeps with us! In Him we have discovered that we are valued infinitely far above our worth. How can we keep quiet about such a God?
