Isaiah 58:11 (ERV)
“The Lord will always lead you and satisfy your needs in dry lands.
He will give strength to your bones.
You will be like a garden that has plenty of water,
like a spring that never goes dry.”
As we draw upon the living water from above each and everyday let us be mindful to share that water that gives life with those around us. Let us be thankful that the water He gives is the only water that will quench our spiritual thirst. I love how this scripture in Isaiah says that we will be “like a garden that has plenty of water, a spring that never goes dry.” No matter how much we draw upon it, those waters will continue to flow toward us to meet our every need! The only requirement is that we continue to seek Him and draw upon that river of life that proceeds from Him.
God desires to see us active in doing good for others from a heart of faith and love. Today I encourage you to think about the abundance in your life. Think about the many times that He has met you in your “dry lands” and refreshed your soul. Seek opportunities to look to be a blessing in someone’s life. I pray that the life of Jesus within you may touch and bless the dry places of someone in need. We have so much to be thankful for, and as we focus on those blessings and abide in Him we will be in a position to refresh those around us. God bless you!
