Living Water

At the end of a stressful day a warm bubble bath soothes the soul. At the end of a tough week, a day at the beach or on the boat can change an attitude. The hottest vacation destinations are islands, beach towns, or resorts with amazing pools.

Even before I was saved or “born again” I felt closest to that “higher power” near the water. I recall several times even talking to God at Niagra Falls, Les Calanques in France, or overlooking the Mediterranean from Greece, Italy, or then Yugoslavia.

Other people I’ve heard say, “My church is on the boat.” I can see why.

In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth, the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. (Gen. 1:1-2)

When you enjoy a lake, ocean, or stream do you sense the Spirit of God?

If so, praise Him. If not, maybe you still need to seek the Living Water, Jesus Christ. He is the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Jesus. (John 14:6)

Amen.
