All who leave you end up as fools,
Deserters with nothing to show for their lives,
who walk off from GOD; fountain of living waters—
and wind up dead!
REVELATION 21:6 (NLT)
God said, "To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life."
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Drink the spirit-refreshing water God provides and live.
DAILY FODDER
Physically dehydrated people are often unaware of their condition. Might that also be the case for spiritually dehydrated people? How does someone know if they are spiritually dehydrated? How do we prevent dehydration?
PRAYER
Jesus, you have invited all who are thirsty to drink the living water you provide. I confess that I don't always recognize how parched I've become. I'm so busy and distracted that I don't notice the warning signs. Keep me alert to the signs of spiritual dehydration and aware of my ongoing need to drink your living water -- the water that flows by staying close to you. I'm going to keep on chugging your water to stay healthy. Amen!
Our Father in Heaven,
We hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening there.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil.
Amen!
