(Another photo from our 2009 family Reunion in Broken Bow Ok.) I have been thinking today, about how that water; Rivers, streams, and wells of water hold special significance in the Bible. It was (and still is) essential and life sustaining; one cannot live without "life giving water". I would like to share the lyrics to one of my favorite old songs with all of you:
"Come To The Water" by The Hinsons
There is a well that the thirsty soul can drink from
And the purity it brings will ever stay
Not one drop there is wasted
For all who have tasted
Come back to the water
Every day
Come to the life giving water
Just one sip will cleanse the soul from every sin
There's just something 'bout the water
That makes everybody long to come again
Here are some wonderful scriptures about Jesus Christ, Who is that "life giving water"............
John 7:36 - 39 says:
37: "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, if any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38: "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39: "(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)"
We know that the fulfillment of these scriptures in John occured after Jesus' death and resurrection, when His disciples were tarrying in the upper room in the Book of Acts, chapter 2.
How thankful I am for every drink from the Well of God's Spirit! Nothing, and I mean NOTHING will ever satisfy the thirsty soul like HE does.......
