WORD
“Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:13-14 (NIV)
Like water, God’s presence is essential in our daily life. What will carry us through the New Year is the presence of God, the living water. How can we enjoy more of God’s presence in our life?
Make room for God to work in your life. Remove distractions and turn to God and repent (Read Acts 3:19-20)
Watch what we allow to fill the ditches. Watch for dead water that stops the flow of (water) God’s presence in your life. (Read Isaiah 41:18)
