From the rain’s gentle fall to the bubbling spring giving life to the swiftly flowing mountain stream, to meandering river then gracefully onwards to the broad sweeping estuary to reach the ocean’s mighty depths, flows the water of life.
Lord, thank you for your gift of water, source of refreshment, bringing growth, sustaining life. For us water is freely available, sometimes it seems we have too much, yet for others there is too little. Streams and rivers dry, land arid and unproductive, people longing for the refreshing fall of rain. In this land of the mountain and the flood make us mindful of others’ needs and of those who work to overcome the effects of drought on land and people.
But there are other streams that flow from “the spring of the water of life.” Streams of living water filling us with your life and love.
