LIVING WATER

In the natural water is a vital need for every person. One cannot go more than three to six days without water without dying. Our bodies need water, not other substitutes. About two-thirds of the cells in our bodies are made up of water, so you can see how imperative it is to drink water.

Jesus called himself the “living water” when the woman at the well questioned him. In John 4:10-15 Jesus carried on a conversation with her and said in verse 10, “…If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, ‘Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.’”

Living water? That sounds like something we all could use. Yet, Jesus wasn’t talking about natural water that we drink. He was talking about the well of water that springs up within us when we receive him as Savior.

Jesus told his disciples in John 7:38, “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”

This living water is available to all that ask Jesus into their lives. We carry that water within us and then pour it out on others that are thirsty for God. This well of water will never run dry. It quenches the spiritual thirst and satisfies the weary soul.

How do we get this water? The word of God is the water. The more of the word that we take into ourselves the more living water flows out. It is simple as that. Draw from that well daily, and you will never thirst again.
