The crew rationed the water, but in spite of every effort, they soon found themselves with their last water tank empty.<\/p>\n<p>A day or two later, when stranded in a hot climate, to their great joy and relief they sighted another ship. When near enough to signal, they ran up their flags announcing: \u201cWe\u2019re dying for lack of water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To their astonishment, the reply that came back quickly seemed to mock them: \u201cWater all around you; let your bucket down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Little did they know that they were just then crossing the mighty Amazon\u2019s cur\u00adrent, and instead of being in saltwater, they were actually sailing in fresh\u2005\u2014\u2005freshwater all around them though out of sight of land!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Surrounded By God&#8217;s Love<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You may be crying out, \u201cWhat must I do to be saved?\u201d (Acts 16:30), little realizing that the ocean of God\u2019s love is all around you. \u201cLet your bucket down!\u201d \u201cBelieve on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved\u201d (Acts 16:31).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSay not in thine heart\u2005\u2026\u2005Who shall go up for us to heaven\u2005\u2026\u2005who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it?\u2005\u2026\u2005The word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.\u2005\u2026\u2005For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved\u201d (Romans 10:6; Deu\u00adteronomy 30:12-14; Romans 10:8-13).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let your bucket down!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf thou knewest the gift of God\u2005\u2026\u2005thou would\u00adest have asked of Him, and He would have given thee living water\u201d (John 4:10).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life\u201d (John 4:13-14).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe that cometh to Me shall never hun\u00adger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst\u201d (John 6:35).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHo, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat\u2005\u2026\u2005without money and without price\u201d (Isaiah 55:1).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.\u2005\u2026\u2005And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.
