Place Of Water
November 27, 2013

Read: Psalm 42:1-5

The water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life. —John 4:14

Bible in a Year:
Ezekiel 30-32; 1 Peter 4

East Africa is one of the driest places on earth, which is what makes “Nairobi” such a significant name for a city in that region. The name comes from a Masai phrase meaning “cold water,” and it literally means “the place of water.”

Throughout history, the presence of water has been both life-giving and strategic. Whether a person lives in a dry climate or a rainforest, water is a nonnegotiable necessity. In a dry and barren climate, knowing where to find the place of water can mean the difference between life and death.

Our spiritual life also has certain nonnegotiable elements. That is why Jesus, upon encountering a spiritually thirsty woman at a well, declared to her that He alone could provide living water. He told her, “Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14).

Like the deer mentioned in Psalm 42:1-2 who pants for water, our souls thirst for God and long for Him (63:1). We desperately need the sustenance that comes only from Jesus Christ. He is the source of living water that refreshes our hearts.

Rivers of living water,
Rivers of life so free,
Flowing from Thee, my Savior,
Send now the rivers through me. —Wood

Jesus is the fountain of living water.

Hello to all my dear friends at Amy’s…

Rus, please tell Julie I will be back with her at Word when I get my cell phone service again

I am visiting with friends SW of my home deep in Amish country. I have no cell phone service here. Not even one bar. Thank you again ATT. They have Veroizon & have 4 bars. Grrr

But am using their Ethernet connection so that is good as I am able to use my Notebook - a REAL computer with REAL Keyborad

will be returning to my area tomorrow for Thanksgiving where I will go two places. Seeing my Uncle for lunch at his church (my only parent sibling left out of 14) and then later to friends of my friend Paul. These are parents of a student he tutors and it is a long hike but a good situation

Pups and Molly the cat are fine and with me & enjoying the indoors and warmth. Their home is cool but vastly warmer than my “cave”…Heat with wood stove & convection here. No central system

Well have a wonderful Thanksgiving all… Warm wishes and love from me
