Water Daily

I received the prettiest bouquet of roses for my birthday. Six roses and each one a different color. Tucked into the arrangement, along with the card from the family who sent them, was a card that read: "Water daily. Fill container full of water every day." Simple, easy directions to care for this beautiful vase of flowers. They needed water every day... and fill it FULL. 

That little reminder card sat on my desk beside the flowers so that I would remember. I looked at and enjoyed the view every day. I know they need water... every day. It's easy to get busy. Lots of meetings and phone calls. Projects and planning. If I skipped a day, it wouldn't really matter, would it? One day turned into two and oh how easy it is to forget.

WE need water every day. Not just physically! We need the Living Water that Jesus offered in John 7:37-38 (NLT). "On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to Me!  Anyone who believes in Me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from His heart.’” 

Imagine if we drank a bottle or two of water every Sunday morning for an hour and then went the whole week without drinking any more water. Our bodies would be so dehydrated, it wouldn't take very long before we would be in real trouble. So it is with the Holy Spirit of God in our lives. It's not enough to show up at church on Sunday morning for an hour or two and then go an entire week without coming to the Well and drinking fully from His Living Water. We need to come to Him daily! Maybe we each should have a little note attached that reminds us: Water daily. Fill container full of Living Water...every day!
