LIVING WATER

"Guard your heart with all care, and out of it will flow the fountain of life." (Proverbs 4:23)
Water is the source of life.
That is why scientists today are interested in knowing whether water exists on
various planets. Because if there is water on a planet, it means that there are
more chances for life to grow there.
If our spiritual life is to
be a living life, we must have living water in our soul. Just as there are no
crops or life in dry land without water, there is nothing in the lifeless soul.
Today's verse says, "Guard your heart with all guard, and out of it will
spring forth sustenance." Yes, if the fountain of life is to flow from our
heart, our heart must be maturely guarded.
Jesus
refers to the Holy Spirit as living water. This is what he said, " But
this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive” (John
7:39)
If the heart is to be
protected, it is necessary for us to live as people who have faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ. That is why Jesus Christ said, "He that believeth on me, as
the scripture hath said, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.” (
John 7 : 38 )
And speaking to the
Samaritan woman, Jesus Christ said, " If thou knew the gift of
God, and who it is that said to you, give me to drink; you would have asked of
him, and he would have given you living water.” ( John 4 : 10 )
But even today, people focus
on other things than God. This is what God said through Jeremiah, “For my
people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living
waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.” (
Jeremiah 2 : 13 )
If we do not change our
heart according to God and give priority to the blessings of the world, then we
will be the ones who build cisterns that will not hold water from the fountain
of living water. Such a tank is of no use to anyone.
Let us open our hearts to Jesus Christ; Let us guard our heart with all care, then the Spirit of life, the Holy Spirit, will flow forth from our heart as a fountain. If the fountain of life flows from our heart, we will be useful not only to ourselves but also to the people around us. A lush garden will grow around us.
