My heart lies in encouraging others to spend daily time with God. It is when and where you will truly begin to see real change in your life, by following the principle of Matthew 6:33 “Seek ye first….” As I was studying this scripture, I saw that application there. Returning to the well to nourish ourselves. If you will do this one thing, God will take care of all the rest for you, it will simply fall into place. Daily time with God will change you like none other next to Salvation.
The eternal well
John 7:38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.
Many times in the bible we hear of Christ as the Living Water. Here He is speaking of the Holy Spirit that will dwell in us as the great supplier of our needs for our time here on earth. He is the fountain that continually flows, providing wisdom and discernment through the revelation of the scriptures to us. He is the great Enabler. John 6:35 says, “ And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.” These are His promises for eternity.
How many times do you satisfy your thirst every day? We are told that we can only live for 3-5 days without water, so how often do you replenish your Living Water by spending time at the fountain in God’s Word? If this Word through Christ and the Holy Spirit is the fountain of life, then we must return daily to replenish what has been poured out on us, and hopefully through us to others, in the previous day. Are we robbing ourselves of the eternal water daily and the blessings that will come to us, and through us by coming to the well? How can we not go the the well to meet Jesus every day?

I love this….Jesus gave up so much for us…no complaints..he just died for us…what an amazing sacrifice he made for each one of us. Not knowing who we are or who we will become. HE only knew that one day he would welcome each of us in heaven. And oh how awesome that will be. How can we as individuals not be able to deal with our daily lives sacrificing just as Christ did for us. Don’t sweat the small stuff…. How can we Not go to the well each day to thank God for all of his many blessings. I have my bible beside my bed and I leave it there for a reason….To remind me that God is the 1st thing to be thankful for… everything else is just a bonus….I’m thankful for my husband and my children but God is the one that gave them to me. Go to the well….I do…
Thank you Michael for sharing God’s love through your daily message. Sharing you of love for Christ with others.
Exercise daily..Walk with the LORD. Amen 🙂
