The Wells of Salvation

I have been studying alot this week and was redirected last night to the thought of,  "thirsty people." 

At Christmas time, what an awesome gift to share...The good news of Jesus Christ....but one has to really be thristy to drink from this Well...

Isaiah Chapter 12---and I do not know yet where I will stop...or rather where the Lord will stop me..."And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise thee:  though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me...Behold, God is my salvation;  I will trust, and not be afraid:  for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song;  he also is become my salvation...Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation...And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call upon his name, make mention that his name is exalted..."  these are verses 1-4...

I read this and thought about how in different parts of the world, and sometimes here in the USA...there have been periods of drought...Crops destroyed...people thirst...This can be a depressing and devasting sight...Especially if you see someone dying for lack of water...You can live for awhile without food...but up to maybe 7 days without fluid...I know that sometimes I will get so thirsty...usually drink sodas, but sometimes nothing quenches my thirst like a good glass of cool water...Life of all forms depend on it...

Just as natural water is to natural thirst...so is spiritual water to spiritual thirst...God is the Well of Salvation...Where God is not let in, there is no life...death will follow...and it is an undying death...God doesn't want any to perish...that is why He gave the ultimate gift...His Son...Just as a river carries water to a town from the springs in the mountains, so does Jesus bring life brand new from God to those who call on His name...There is no other name under Heaven by which man can be saved...that thirst can be quenched except by calling on the name of Jesus...Amen


You know folks can have water right in front of them, and be so thirsty...but, they will never be satisfied until they reach out and grab...Until we reach out and touch the one who satisfies all our thirst...we will starve to death for a quenching of our souls...

Reflect for a moment...Is your thirst being quenched?

We too are a well...One that should be springing forth...and giving those that are hungry and thirsty for righteousness a drink of that lifegiving water...

Isaiah 58:11-12  "And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones:  and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not...And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places:  thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations;  and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer
of paths to dwell in..."  WHOOOO!!!  Praise the Lord!!!

Church of God, we are the SPIRITUAL WELL that people are gonna look too...
The Word of God springing forth from us, out to others will bind up all that is lost and people WILL BEGIN TO LIVE!!!  BECAUSE THEY REACHED OUT AND GOT A HOLD OF THE WATER OF LIFE...PRAISE THE LORD!!!  And that is Jesus Christ...

May we be willing to SPRING FORTH for The Church of God!!!  God Bless...Hope that you have read something that will prick your heart...to dip in the WELL...
