John 4:14 NKJV but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.
We may think we can go without it but we won’t be fresh and revived and full of the living water God wants us to enjoy. We don’t want stale water or water from yesterday or last year, we want fresh water every day.
Reading and listening to the word is part of our worship because when Mary and Martha had invited Jesus to their house for the day it says Jesus was pleased with Mary who sat and listened to Him. She drank in every word He said and gave Him her time. Martha was so busy she didn’t think she could spare the time so she became stressed out and cross with Mary and Jesus as well ‘for not doing something about it!’ But it was her choice, her priorities were different with different results.
Have we ever felt like that? Too much to do, nobody taking responsibility and helping us? Maybe if we sit with the Lord for a little while He’ll give us the wisdom to know what to do about it, but if we don’t listen we won’t find out.😊
Can I encourage us all to just take five minutes at intervals throughout our day and shut your eyes, in the rest room if need be at work, or at home, and allow the Lord’s peace to flood our souls, let His presence flow into us and see if He is trying to get a word in edge ways. It could change the course of our day as we stop and drink of Him and let Him refresh us. In Jesus name. Amen.😊
