Words of Encouragement August - 03 - 2003
Streams of water -- living water for dying hopes, cool water for parched hearts, refreshing water for those tired and weary. This is, of course, much more than a liquid we can drink with our lips. This is the ultimate water of the soul that God longs to give to us, his children. Let's spend the month of August, refreshing ourselves with the promises of Jesus and trusting that, as we draw close to him, the Spirit will restore our soul.
Let us read John 7:37-38.
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."Let us pray.
Loving Father, thank you for sending Jesus to save us and the Holy Spirit to sustain and renew us. Please bless us, especially this month, as we seek to draw closer to our Savior and restore our soul with the refreshing living water of your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
