River Full of Living Water
A Reflection on God’s Salvation and Providence in Psalm 65
“You visit the earth and water it,
You greatly enrich it;
The river of God is full of water;
You provide their grain,
For so You have prepared it.
You water its ridges abundantly,
You settle its furrows;
You make it soft with showers,
You bless its growth.”
— Psalm 65:9–10 NKJV
“Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.””
— John 4:13–14 NKJV
God’s grace is like a river — ever flowing, never ending, always fresh, always moving from one end to another, constant in its provision.
God’s fullness of grace, as well as His truth — absolute truth, are found in the person of Jesus Christ (John 1:17).
And in Christ, we find this flowing river of grace, flowing river of living water. From Christ the source, to us the blessed receivers.
A flow of living water that ensures us to remain thirst-free. Thirst-free of worldliness and its transient pleasures for truly they will never satisfy the human heart and soul.
In Him we bask, we immerse and we drink from this gracious provision of living water where everlasting life and abundance of blessings spring up and fill us from the inside out (Ephesians 1:3).
He gives living water to this seed of faith of ours and blesses its growth.
How can we refuse this free, unmerited gift of life-changing H₂O?
