Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 28 May 2021

 

Fresh Water

 

Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
 
(Exodus 17:6)

 

Today’s Morsel:  We all need water. They say that the earth has more water than anything else and yet some countries are suffering because they do not have clean water to drink.  Every country has water.  God knew that water would be one of those commodities that we need to live.  We see that even the Holy Ghost, which we all need to live, is associated with living water. In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)(John 7:37-39)  Isiah cried, “Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.(Isaiah 55:1)  Repent ye therefore (Peter said), and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you(Acts 3:19-20)  Do you need a drink of fresh water?  As Jesus told the woman at the well, “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.(John 4:14)  You can have a well of freshwater to drink at your leisure.  

 

Sing: Drinking at the springs of living water; Happy now am I, my soul they satisfy.  Drinking at the wells of living water, a wonderful and bountiful supply.

 

Thought For Today: Drink while the well is running.
