Drawing From The Living Water

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the cares of this world? Are you drawing from a dry well in your spiritual life? In this age of constant news, entertainment, and distractions, it's easy to lose focus on our relationship with God and our faith in His promises. But we must remember that the joy of the Lord is our strength, and we cannot draw strength from the world and its news.

Jesus promised that whoever drinks from the water He gives will never thirst again. The fountain of living water within us should not run dry, but if it has, it's because we're more concerned with the cares of this world than our relationship with God. “…and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.” (Mt. 13:22) We must focus on His promises and let the living water flow within us.

Don't let the world steal your joy, faith, and vision. We are just passing through, and we have a job to do while we're here. That job requires that we have living water on the inside. Let us draw from the living water that Jesus offers, and let it flow abundantly in our lives and into the lives of those around us.

Today, let us focus on the promises of God and drink from the living water that Jesus offers. May the joy of the Lord be our strength as we allow the abundance of life in the Spirit to flow from within us.
