May 13 (Wednesday) -- Streams of Living Water



Only heroes can eat the honey: 1 Samuel 14:1-52

From believers flow streams of living water: John 7:31-53

Help me, O Lord my God: Psalm 109:1-31

The lips of the wise spread knowledge: Proverbs 15:5-7

Drink from Jesus to help quench the thirst of others. Jesus said in verses 37-38, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.”. In the next verse John told us that Jesus was talking about the Holy Spirit.

Who of us is satisfied with the status quo of going through the motions on Sunday morning, Sunday evening, & Wednesday evening? I hope the answer is that not many of us are satisfied.

We need a thirst for real life. Jesus is the One who can quench that thirst. Jesus didn’t say that if you believe in Him you’ll become an expert in religious dogma. Jesus was surrounded by people like that. Instead Jesus said that if you believe in Him streams of living water (the Holy Spirit) will flow from you.

If we’re not into leading others to Jesus then we probably need to drink more from Him.
