They won't go hungry
or get thirsty;
they won't be bothered
by the scorching sun
or hot desert winds.
I will be merciful
while leading them along
to streams of water.
JOHN 4:15 (CEV)
The woman replied, “Sir, please give me a drink of that water! Then I won't get thirsty and have to come to this well again.”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's water is eternally satisfying.
DAILY FODDER
Why is water such a rich metaphor for what God has to offer?
PRAYER
Great God, you are a reservoir of refreshment. Forgive me for looking for other solutions to my thirst. Everything else is so temporal and I'm too willing to accept short-lived satisfaction. Show me what it means to have an eternal solution to my needs. I want to be able to share your living water with everyone around me. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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 in heaven.
