You visit the earth and water it; you greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide their grain, for so you have prepared it. Psalm 65:9 – As I write this devotion I’m in the middle of a preaching series on the story of the woman and the well in John 4. In that story Jesus approaches a woman who by worldly and spiritual standards was thirsty. She was emptied emotionally from the weight of her communities’ shame on her and longed for a change in her story. Jesus then shows up on the scene and tells her that in Him she can find eternal life. That He can give her living water that will spring up within her refreshing her life always. Such is the beauty told to us in this psalm. From God comes a river full of water. It provided for the whole earth, every meadow and valley would be fruitful with abundance. Know that in the Lord every meadow and valley in your story can be fruitful with abundance too. God brings into the life of those who follow Him an eternal life that provides in ways that nothing of this world can. It can flood us with joy and peace when we need it, and it offers us a security knowing that the God who fashioned the Heavens is always with us. If then, like the woman at the well, you are desiring a change in your story for your story right now feels quite empty, then let that change be a life after Jesus. Let the river of life that God brings to any who follow Him feed into your story today. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3478
Question To Ponder: Why would God use the imagery of water so often in scripture to describe the blessings He brings?
