Living Water

Source: The Gospel Coalition

 

We're drinking from a mirage if we only quench our thirst on what we hope to see 

and not what is real and lasting and may not be seen for a long, long, long time.

 
We're drinking from a stagnant pond if we keep returning to the same story 

over and over and over again hoping to find resolution (Prov. 26:11).
 

We're drinking from a rusty tap if we don't purify our words with fire (James 4:8), 

season them with salt (Col. 4:6), and sweeten them with honey (Ps. 119:103).
 

We're drinking from contaminated water 

if we believe that we're the water others long for.
 

We're drinking from water that will never satisfy 

if we're not drinking from the Living Water (John 4:7-30).

but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst.

Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water 

welling up to eternal life."
