How good it is, when you have been busy working or otherwise occupied, to come to a spring or well, take a break and enjoy a refreshing drink of good cold water. One place where we lived there was a spring that came out of the rocks; near my brother’s place someone has driven a pipe into a spring that comes out of the ground; before they had their own well, they used this spring water for their household, and it was so good! We have lived in places where the water tasted pretty bad, and most of the time city water of any kind is not to my liking. Right now, we use filter pitchers for our drinking and cooking water, and that is quite good, but nothing beats water that comes directly from a good spring or well. It is not surprising to me that the Holy Spirit is spoken of as a well of water springing up in all believers. Father, help me to remember that You are the One who gives us living water, and as we come to You and drink, we need never be thirsty again. “Jesus stood and cried out, ‘If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” John 7:37b,38 NKJV ©2006 H. M. Stratton, All rights reserved.
