“Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink!”
Featured prominently in the Bible
As a symbol of the Spirit and salvation (Isa 44:3: For I will pout water on the thirsty land, and currents on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring.” Rev 22:17 – The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let the one who hears say, “Come!” And let the one who is thirsty come, and the one who desires the water of life drink freely.)
As well as a need to be fulfilled (Isa 43:20 – The animals of the field will honor Me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My chosen people. John 6:35 – Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.“)
Jesus said these words.
On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” John 7:37-38
For those of us who yearn to be of help in this Covid-19 period, who wonder how we can best serve our neighbours or who are concerned about the welfare of others, let us first come to Jesus and drink deep. And His Spirit in us will guide us to those who He has purposed us to lead to Himself.
