John 7:37-39
On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
Rivers flow and eventually end up flowing into an ocean. Rivers of living water should flow from true believers. We should be letting the Lord pour into us so we can pour out. The world needs what we have. They are dry and thirsty. They don’t drink from the right sources. They need to know about this living water that the Lord gives. They need to be filled up with the refreshing waters of the Lord.
Just as an unhealthy person may drink sodas and other sugar drinks when they are thirsty, they are not quenched with the right substance their body needs. The body needs lots of refreshing water. The other drinks will not satisfy the same way water can. Our organs desperately need water to be healthy. in the same way, our spirit man needs living water. It is life to us spiritually,
Let this living water pour out of you. Release it to others. Be a sound for the Lord in what you speak and how you live. There are many thirsty people that need this in their lives. Ask the Lord to help you with this so that it will freely flow from your mouth.
