God Places Great Value on Water
Water. Pure, clean water! With water rhymes the word, ‘blotter.’ hmm …am now thinking, “sin,” ‘Water’ and ‘blotter’ sounds like a win-win! Though, first things first. From the devil’s view water was cursed. We’ll get there, but unraveling this story could prove to be a bear. The Lord has already said to cast my care, and believe you me, i can do that with much dare! Time to gather some facts that show God’s glory and tact;
Genesis 1:2 talks of the earth being without form. Here the meaning carries that of being ‘empty’ and ‘waste.’ ~ says it was ‘void.’ From even the most brilliant human conception of mind; i.e., mere man is blind to God’s circumspection as to the cosmos remains of a dateless past. Earthly wisdom will always stand before God, without question, outclassed;
The infallible truth of God says that the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. What does that even mean, bean …? Think of the word, ‘flutter’ without one word of blunt or critical mutter. ok! The Holy Spirit of God was fluttering. Can’t imagine it? The Spirit was brooding and relaxing over the waters. This description turns wonder and sparks the mind to the close connection of the Godhead and to what they may have been uttering …
Water is connected to Jesus, to life itself …extending to everyone else! No secret is the yoke with the water baptism of repentance and salvation. Yes! And for those in every station of life and in every nation. Sin gets blotted out! Water is known as salvation’s symbol. Am now remembering the joyous day of baptism for my heart had been made alive unto God. His presence brings all kinds of unity and complex awe!
Let’s skip over to Psalms 23 for here is something that you must see. V2 says; He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters. Here water is deep, and still; water is refreshing. Here too, are waters of rest! Notice: man is guided to these waters by the Shepherd of God. No. This is not odd.
Turn with me for further offering of God’s grace at John 4:14; His water far exceeds the quality of “pristine” Jesus says that He can give you a well of water of eternal life! Have you ever given it much thought as to Who, or what, is his wife? Too, do you see that Jesus is the ‘living water” John 4:10. Amen!
At any rate let us now focus on John 7:37, and 38. In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, if any man thirst let him come to me, and drink. For he that believes on me, as the scripture has said, ‘out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.’
Friend; this is a right now/today offering! Can you accept it? Focus. Leave not the mind to wandering for here one finds that water is connected to spiritual prosperity and satisfaction. The only suffering that can possibly come forth will stem from inaction;
These ‘rivers of living waters? These waters refer to the fullness of God’s Holy Spirit that was to be given after Jesus became glorified. In other words – out of the ‘believer’ – are you a believer? Then out of You can flow unlimited power to do the works of Christ! Want proof? John 14:12-14. Enhance it if you feel that you must or simply can. However, truth stands that it changes the heart of man!
This Spirit was given to those in the upper room, and still today, miraculous signs and wonders follow each believer. That same spirit, then, and today, is yet vilified. Yes. Throughout the centuries and even in today’s times, God’s Spirit in scores of the “modern day” church is nullified;
As we move on to Ezekiel 36:25-27 why does God promise to sprinkle clean water on His people? Get serious! Church has nothing to do with a building nor a steeple. V25 Then will i sprinkle clean water upon you, and you will be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. Water has to do with cleansing, purification, and spiritual renewal. To be in the know of this writ is truly a nugget of a precious and costly jewel.
Go and share with all you know this life connection and to it bind all your affection! Why? God’s presence and cleansing and sanctifying work is ongoing. You have right and great privilege to change someone’s eternity. Share today with someone the value that God places upon man through His Life-Giving Water.
This is silverray signing off believing that we can Touch each other’s heart by sharing His love. Have a beautiful day.
