My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Patricia Rayon… AT THIS LINK …tells of receiving a bouquet of wilted flowers and how they were revived to loveliness by providing them with water (see photo).
And that is a good life picture of what God has always promised His people (see Scriptures above) from The Messiah, our Lord and Savior, Who has promised that all who believe in Him, as our King and Savior, will be revived to eternal life by His living waters of Salvation.
And once again today - as I do everyday - I come to drink from my Lord’s well of truth from His word which is my source of His living waters. I pray that all who read with me here are partaking from those waters from His word everyday until His living waters will be with us forever in the New Jerusalem.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for giving me You living waters of truth to revive me daily.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to partake of Your living waters from Your well of eternal truth again today, Lord. .… Amen
