“Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” – John7:38
Living water is given to us from the Lord. We are to be filled with living water so that it literally flows from within us, like a river flowing to nourish a fertile land.
The Niagara River flows along the border of Cananda and the US and is the source of water for the Niagara Falls. The power of the Niagara River is displayed as it tumbles over the falls. On average 4 million cubic feet of water flows over the falls every single minute making Niagara Falls the most powerful waterfall in North America. It is amazing to think that this flow never stops and continues falling night and day. The Niagara Falls are definitely a wonderful display of nature’s beauty and power.
Jesus uses the metaphor of a river when describing how the Holy Spirit is to flow out of our lives. We are to be like the Niagara Falls with an ever flowing supply of God’s Spirit. When we are filled with the Spirit and allow it to flow in us and through us God’s power and beauty will be revealed to the world and will nourish a land that is thirsty for living water.
Prayer: Lord, fill me with your living water. Allow me to become a river of living water so that you will be glorified in my life. Amen.
Faith Tip: Pray for the Spirit to fill you today and then allow God’s Spirit to flow from you to others so that God power and beauty will be displayed in how you live.
