The past month has been a roller coaster ride. Our business isn't doing so well, and facing financial chaos has been my number one burden. But at this point, I can only look to God for his grace regarding the future of the company and my path on this road, for he promises that his yoke is light.
During Sabbath School at church, I led a discussion based on the topic of water. It was quite inspiring to relate our need for spiritual living water to the water that we consume every day. Unless we consciously choose to drink enough water, the average person lives their life dehydrated. We live feeling groggy and drained, simply because we are dehydrated from water and instead fulfill this thirst with things that we presume will fulfill our longing: beer, coffee, soda, juice, etc. Like our physical need for water, we also have a spiritual thirst for living water. This spiritual water comes from Jesus Christ, a source of endless fountain of living water. Yet we immerse ourselves in temporary ways to quench our thirst, only to find out soon enough that we have a deeper dryness that wants satisfying. From entertainment media, to social havoc, career, and fame. It's quite sobering to realize how we mistreat our precious body and soul by neglecting simple life giving refreshments: water for both body and soul.
"Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:14
