This is the story of the Samaritan woman Jesus gave living water to.
As we read the story of the Samaritan woman in the Bible, she showed she had a strong and desperate need. What she was looking for was something to fill her spiritual desires. Her body was in need of the everlasting water that would fill her from the inside out, and she found out only Jesus could do that.
John 4:10-11: “Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?”
But Jesus explained in the next verse what He was talking about: “Art thou greater than our Father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw” (John 4:12-15).
Then Jesus presented Himself to the Samaritan woman as the source of the living water for her inward Spirit that her body and soul desired. 2 Peter 3:2: “That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the Holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour.” The water Jesus gives will satisfy not just one time but can become a well or spring that will be as everlasting, lifegiving peace. That does not mean that He will remove all the temptations and trials we face in this life. We are just living in a human body here on Earth. But through daily prayer, fasting, and reading His Holy Word, then will we be able to taste the living water.
John 7:38: “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”
Let’s always have the soul satisfaction that we are filled with the living water that comes from the throne of grace.
To all who thirst will thirst no more And all who search will find what their souls long for The world will try, but it can never fill Leave it all behind, and come to the well.
This year, leave behind all the things that have held you back in 2020. Push forward in 2021! Let’s make a difference.
