Living Water

A couple of days ago  the Lord gave me the word “manage” and one of the definitions is “Succeed in surviving or in attaining one’s aims, especially against heavy odds.”

As I was talking to Him about my time and what He was doing in my life at a recent (VOA – Voice of the Apostles) conference, the words He gave me are: open eyes, open heart, open mind, release, impart, receive, rejoice. And then He said, “My people are coming into a ‘new season.’Open heavens, greater warfare, greater provision, greater anointing. Buckle up; hold on; stay focused on Me; stay in My word. Greater responsibility; greater accountability. Babies are coming — spiritual babies.”

“New Assignment. Pray for mothers and fathers. Babies are coming. They will grow fast as they are fed and nurtured by mothers and fathers in the faith.”

Then He said, “Water for those who thirst; food for the hungry.” Then He gave me the words “watering hole.” A water hole from which animals regularly drink. All kinds of animals. Every form of life depends on water. Water comes in the form of dew on the ground, rain from the skies, and wells from which water comes from the ground. Jesus said, “I am the river of life. He who comes to me shall no longer be thirsty.” He is the “living water.”

This morning He blessed me with a local squirrel who was taking advantage of my “watering hole.” It is a water feature on my deck that I love listening to; but, for that squirrel  – it is life!

It reminds me that we must manage our time, like that squirrel, to go to the water to survive or we will die of thirst.

Are you going to the “watering hole that Jesus provides and drinking from the ‘living water’ of life?”
