Many years ago my dad
and mom would take my siblings and I to my grandparent’s cabin in Waupaca,
Wisconsin. We used to love going there to swim in the lake and hike
through the woods. Yet there is something that still stays with me about
going to that rustic old cabin. It was the water. That's right the
water! It wasn't just well water it was water from an Artesian well. It
was water that was crystal clear, constantly flowing, very cold, and
tasted great. One of the first things we would do when we got there,
after all the hugs and hellos was to get a drink from that water. Before
we would leave we would drink to our capacity. (Which meant we would often be
stopping on the trip home.) In the Bible it says that there is a river
that flows from that spring that brings Life. True life! This river
is wound through the Garden of Eden and it is seen in Ezekiel, later passing
through the side of Jesus on the cross. Then this river would b eventually seen
by John flowing in the New Earth identified in Revelation. David said in
Psalms 36:8 "The pleasures of God's river are our domain." This
water is real and is meant to satisfy the deep longings of the Human Spirit. We
don't have to wait until eternity to drink it. In fact Jesus said whoever
believed in Him would have the river flow into them, through them, and out of
them. When the river comes out of us, it comes in the form of worship.
This would be a river that came from the Father and eventually going back
to the father.
