“He Who Refreshes Others…”

refreshed

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 one’s 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 from within us! The only requirement is that we continue to seek Him and draw upon that river of life that proceeds from Him.

 
 

This type of abundance is not just for our survival and enjoyment alone but it is there for us to minister to those in need around us. God desires to see us active in doing good for others from a heart of faith and love.  It is as we sow from the abundance in us that we too will be refreshed.  I recently had the most wonderful experience of working and serving the body of Christ during a conference our church hosted.   Even though my body was tired by the end of the week, my spirit and soul were being refreshed in the giving of my all.    What a wonderful and blessed feeling it is to give our all for God!

 
 
 
I praise God today that we serve a God of plenty.   Our God knows exactly how to satisfy each and every need that arises in our “dry land.”   Many times in the natural it may look like there is no supply, but praise God, He is able to meet our needs in ways we can never imagine.   Look to Him to bring great strength to your bones, and replenish the well of your soul making it  plenteous, and never going dry!
