Hurricanes are causing heavy rains, wind, and a lot of flooding across the country. Where does all that water go? When there's a flash flood, or a super heavy rain, where does ALL of that water go? Some evaporates into the atmosphere, and creates moisture in the air we need to breathe, along with plants and animals. Most runs off and seeps into the earth.
When we flood ourselves with the Word of God, when we soak and saturate our minds and hearts with thoughts and messages from the Lord, it is the same. Some of it evaporates into the sphere of our relationships; other people absorb and breathe it in, and it nourishes them.
Most of it works its way deep down into our spirits, to give drink to our spiritual roots and to sustain us in dry times.
Isaiah 55:10-11 says, "As the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."
Thank you, Lord, your living water always goes somewhere!
