“For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
~ Revelation 7:17 (ESV)
On Sunday afternoon my husband and I went out to take some photographs. Since we just went ‘down-town’, I did not take any water. We are usually taking each a bottle of water, but I totally forgot since I figured we would not be gone for a long time.
Not taking water was a huge mistake! Soon after getting out of the air-conditioned truck, I started pouring water (aka sweat). After 20 minutes my shirt was soaked. We ended up buying one bottle of water, but apparently it was not enough. Sunday night I could not go to sleep; I was so thirsty. I kept getting up to drink water. On Monday, both my husband and I felt horrible. Our bodies were dehydrated, and it took all day Monday to get hydrated.
This experience reminded me of the Word; how we sometimes don’t get refreshed through God’s Word. If we neglect to read at least a little each day, soon we feel horrible. We are tired, exhausted, and frustrated. But if we stay close to the Living Water, our days go better (even during stress times).
So this week, I am thankful for water; for physical water to hydrate the body properly and the Living Water that fills our souls.
