ISAIAH 48:21 (GNT)
When the LORD led his people through a hot, dry desert,
they did not suffer from thirst.
He made water come from a rock for them;
he split the rock open, and water flowed out.
MARK 9:41 (MSG)
...anyone by just giving you a cup of water in my name is on our side. Count on it that God will notice.
THE ESSENCE
Those who do the simplest acts of kindness, such as giving drinks of water on behalf of the Lord, in doing so are on Jesus' side.
DAILY FODDER
If you’re trying to figure out who is genuinely aligned with Jesus, look to see if they have a "water ministry."
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for giving water. We confess that we've made faith more about doctrinal alignment than digging wells for needy people. Yes, doctrine is important but you emphasize quenching thirst. Direct me to individuals who need water or ministries that specialize in delivering water. I want to be a part of what you're doing for all who have spiritual or physical thirst. 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.

Give us enough food for today.
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 will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
