Challenge today: Feast on His words! Grow closer to the Father & Son by drinking of the water. If it is Sunday increase your scripture study, meditate & enjoy the Spirit.
In a talk by Elder David Bednar 2007, he asks, what is the most valuable commodity in the world? It is water. Our bodies are two-thirds water and we would die without it for more than three or four days. Water sustains life & could not exist without clean water.
As Jesus was passing through Samaria he stopped at Jacob’s Well, speaking to a woman about the ‘living waters’. He asked her for a drink saying, ‘Give me to drink’. She was surprised he, a Jew, would speak to her, a Samaritan.
Jesus answered, “ If thou newest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.”
She responded that he had nothing to draw the water with. His answer was, ‘Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” John 4:7-11, 13-14
This water represents the Lord Jesus Christ and His gospel sustaining life in spiritual ways to help us grow and develop. The scriptures are a reservoir of water we can utilize daily drinking deeply and long.
Journaling: Who do I get my strength from? Am I too busy to seek the word of God and quench my thirst?
