Gush Forth with Rivers of Joy

            Have you had your Joy Juice today? How thirsty are you…spiritually speaking?

            Psalm 63:1 paints a vivid picture of how we should thirst for God. David prayed:

“O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.”
 
            Have you ever been really, really thirsty? Maybe you’ve worked or played outside in the heat for a long time and you find yourself parched and dry! Or maybe you’ve been in a place where clean water was scarce and you could hardly wait for the cool quenching drink of some pure, clean water. 

            According to one online source: “A human can go for more than three weeks without food! Mahatma Gandhi survived 21 days of complete starvation….but water is a different story. At least 60% of the adult body is made of it and every living cell in the body needs it to keep functioning. Water acts as a lubricant for our joints, regulates our body temperature through sweating and respiration and helps to flush waste.”

            Let’s compare that to our spiritual condition.  God…the Living Water…is necessary for every area of our life. He is the lubricant of love, the regulator of peace and the respirator of joy! He desires to flush out sin & evil and replace it with His truth & eternal promises.

           Let’s determine to stay hydrated…FILLED with the Living Water….so that He will gush forth with rivers of joy.
