 Well’s Of Water

July 22, 2007 Bro. Lonnie

One of the most natural things that we do is thirst.

Since our body is mostly liquid and we must replace fluids that are lost on a daily basis, we are constantly in search of something to drink. We understand this concept.

We must be cautious about what and where we drink, because sickness and death are found in many of these areas.

Most of the water that we have is undrinkable, although it covers most of the earth.

Since our survival depends on our awareness, we must care for ourselves. That’s good for the natural man, but what about the spiritual man? He survives and thrives from Water in the Well Of Salvation. (Isa.12:3) Water represents the Spirit, and the Word of God. Yes, we are cleansed by the water of the Word.

We are told in God’s word: "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." (Matt.5:6).

Jesus taught the woman at Jacob’s well (John Cpt. 4) the importance of the water that He had to give. It was living water, and once tasted, there would be a thirst for more.

David had been to this well, and could sang the song: (Ps. 42:1) "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee O God."

David’s thirst was real, and he wanted more of God. How about You? Are you satisfied right where you are at, or do you want more of that joy, that is in the well of salvation.

Jesus extended His invitation to all: "If any man thirst let him come unto Me and drink. He that believeth on Me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." (Jn. 7:37-38)

This is the only water that satisfies the soul.

Have you met Jesus at the well yet? You had better get going, because time as we know it is swiftly passing by.

There is plenty of water at the well, for all who are thirsty for God.
