Monday's Message of Hope
|
Hello, dear friend
We close out the month of January with the last portion of Isaiah 58:11:
The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
What a beautiful illustration for us to ruminate on! A well-watered garden brings pleasure to everyone who sees it. Healthy plants, fragrant aromas, sweet blossoms all come to mind when we think of a garden that receives the necessary water. But notice how Isaiah didn’t describe it. Not a parched garden. Not a wilted garden. Not a bedraggled garden. No, this garden had enough water to bring forth a great harvest. A continual spring of water, always available to satisfy the needs of the crops, the vegetables, or the flowers.
So it is with our Lord. His living water never runs out, never runs dry, never turns rancid. As he waters us with his Spirit, we live in a continual refreshing, able to pour out to others. The fruit of our spirits will be sweet to taste as we walk worthy of our calling. The fragrance that surrounds us will be a delightful aroma to those seeking the Lord. The trees of righteousness will provide shade and comfort to the weary and lost souls.
What a blessed hope we have in our God, the only one who causes us to be this incredible well watered, a perpetual spring bursting forth living waters!
Below are some questions to reflect and/or journal. Feel free to share your thoughts—I would love to hear from you.
Have a hope-filled week as a well-watered garden!
