My wife and I hiked in the desert in the middle of 96 degree heat. It was awesome. For miles around you can see mounds of sand covered in desert brush. Yet, in the middle of this desert was a true oasis surrounded by sun blocking palm trees. The palms and pools of water were both gorgeous and cool, literally, at the same time.
The San Andreas Earthquake fault ran through this area letting water seep through one of it’s cracks. This water hole allowed for both plant and animal life to flourish.
As we were walking I was thinking about Jesus calling Himself the living water. Only He can make our lives flourish in dry times. There are numerous other descriptive illustrations used for Jesus in Scripture. Don’t just read the Word of God. Listen to it and then think about it throughout your day. The more you do, the more you’ll understand who Jesus is and how He can make your life better now and for eternity.
Tozer once said, “Outside the will of God, there’s nothing I want. Inside the will of God nothing I fear.” Let the truths of those illustration seep into our life. Being with and in Jesus is God’s will!
