Living Water

Water is vital to your body. It makes up 93 percent of your blood, 73 percent of your muscle mass, and even your body fat is 10 percent water. Water is necessary for:

*Regulating body temperature
*Protecting organs and body tissues
*Digestion
*Transporting nutrients to cells
*Helping to dissolve nutrients
*Lubricating joints

You are probably thinking right now, "Why is Morgan giving us a science lesson on water?" Stay with me!!

Jesus answered her (Samaritan Woman at the well), "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water." "Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?" Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water." ~John 4:10-15

Life can leave us feeling all dried up. We get drained, worn out, tired, and frustrated. We chase a satisfaction we can't seem to find. And like the Samaritan woman, we have to keep going back to the well because our thirst never seems to go away. Think about these questions...

*What was Jesus referring to when He talked about living water?
*What physical solutions do you sometimes turn to when you really have a spiritual thirst to quench?
*What did Jesus promise to those who choose to drink the living water?

When we offer God the little that we have, He always gives us much, much more than we had before. With Jesus, we are always "trading up." We have nothing to fear from giving Him all we have. Not only can He satisfy our deepest needs, but He also wants to give us more than we could possibly imagine.
Today, focus on a spiritual thirst you have been trying to quench with physical remedies like food, relationships, anger, addictions. Ask God to quench that thirst so you can experience Him fully!

Loving Jesus together,
Morgan
