Abundant Waters

Bible in a Year:

• 2 Kings 17–18
• John 3:19–36

Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink.

Exodus 17:6

In Australia, a report outlined “a grim story” of extreme drought, heat, and fire. The account described a horrific year with only minuscule rainfall, turning parched brush into tinder. Raging fires torched the countryside. Fish died. Crops failed. All because they didn’t have a simple resource we often take for granted—water, which we all need in order to live.

Israel found itself in its own terrifying dilemma. As the people camped in the dusty, barren desert, we read this alarming line: “There was no water for the people to drink” (Exodus 17:1). The people were afraid. Their throats were dry. The sand sizzled. Their children suffered thirst. Terrified, the people “quarreled with Moses,” demanding water (v. 2). But what could Moses do? He could only go to God.

And God gave Moses odd instructions: “Take . . . the staff [and] . . . strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink” (vv. 5–6). So Moses hit the rock, and out gushed a river, plenty for the people and their cattle. That day, Israel knew that their God loved them. Their God provided abundant water.

If you’re experiencing a drought or wilderness in life, know that God is aware of it and He’s with you. Whatever your need, whatever your lack, may you find hope and refreshment in His abundant waters.

Reflect & Pray

Where are the parched and barren places in your world? How can you look for and trust in God’s abundant waters?

I need Your water, God, Your provision. If You don’t help me, I don’t think I’ll make it. Will You bring me the water I need?

WHAT, doesn’t Southwest have passenger jets powered by windmills or solar panels?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hump day is finally over!! Hurrah for us! Hope your “list” is going well and on schedule.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...how is your car? Getting all dolled up? Ready to rejoin the family?

Is the weather allowing you and Penny to go walking?

I got to see a bunch of jets from Elmendorf flying directly over my deck today. The sound of freedom!

[mountainlion]

It was white this morning but most of the snow has melted off. I am expecting thunderstorms every afternoon now. Air Force has been training for fire fighting so had 5 big planes fly over today. I hope it warms up tomorrow. Maybe there will be spring after all.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Hump Day! Ready to catch your breath a little?

Evening, Kathy! Enjoying the white nights?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...not jet fuel, huh?

Are they bringing it in from somewhere else? Glad you aren’t stuck in New Jersey or New York.

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Still enjoy nice weather? Did you ever get any rain this week?

[SkyDancer]

Hi, ya, ditto on that Newark and NYC thing - the grounds people are trying to get some but what good is it going to do on the long haul flights? We’d have to set down somewhere if they couldn’t give us enough fuel and the airport we go into doesn’t have any (assuming the flights go up the eastern seaboard) - going west shouldn’t be a problem if we have enough to get to say LAX or SFO or SAN (formally Lindberg Field) or anywhere in-between.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...all recovered from your hard working weekend?

We MUST remember them!!

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

It’s still nice and cool...I need to cover my feet right now. LOL! But not a drop of rain. sigh. We were promised!

How about things there? Still stormy and too cold or is it finally warming up?
