When everything falls into place

Isaiah 42:1-9, 1 Corinthians 10:3-4

I pray that everyone might drink from the living water of the rock of Christ. We all need to eat and drink daily SPIRITUAL food and drink to sustain our souls and spiritual life, not just our physical life.

In Isaiah we find an account of the "servant of the Lord" who will bring forth justice and freedom and old things become new and good news is everywhere. Else where we hear "Let just roll on like a river." Living water gives life and frees people from thirsty souls. It also symbolizes the power of righteousness as all the sinful structures of evil in our world fall to justice and peace.So many of us are dry and parched, awaiting the river of justice and the water of life. Look at the deserts of the world, where water can be found, oases form, paradise-like islands of overflowing life in a otherwise dead, sandy world of harsh wind where people get lost and forgotten. Be an oasis! Be an island where the spring of living water can pour from Christ through you to the world. Once they know that water can be found in you, they will seek your truth and they will form springs of their own with the living water Christ deposits in them.

This week God has opened new doors of grace and awesomeness through the Living Water idea. SO much of it is more than words, so I find it difficult to really write much here.
