Just a thought to help start your week.

This painting is done as a large mural on a wall just to the side of the main walking path on the riverwalk in downtown Oklahoma City.  As we walked a few streets over for supper one night, we paused to watch it for a moment.  One would not normally “watch” a painting.  However, this painting was done to accentuate the existing water draining along the canal.  The water is meant to look as if it is flowing directly from the jars in the hands of those women.

The Bible tells us that Jesus is the living water.  We read the story of how He met the woman at the well and offered her the Living Water.  We understand that water means life.  Without water, we would surely die.  Doesn’t it make sense that without Jesus, we surely die?  We must come to Him for the Living Water.

One interesting thing about that water is that it is offered to us freely.  It continuously flows.  It is being poured out for us.  It is always available.  Free for the consumption.  — If only we stop and drink.

You may feel as if your week, or even life in general, has drained you dry.  Even as a Christian we have those days.  But the good news (The Good News) is that He is ready to quench our thirst if only we pause to receive a drink.

Water.  Life-giving water.  Flowing freely for all who come to it.

Why are you wasting your time walking around dry?  And just as importantly, why aren’t you offering a drink of that Water to anyone else?

Just a thought.
