| Dear Young Christian: |
| “O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved” (Song of Solomon 5:1). |
| We were driving through the city of Georgetown, Guyana earlier today. As we passed a large water bottling plant I noticed their slogan in large letters painted on the side of the building. It said: |
| HYDRATE YOUR LIFE. |
| This was a reminder that we need to drink plenty of good clean water to survive. I tend not to drink enough when I am in the tropics, so it was a good reminder. Everybody seems to be carrying a bottle of water with them these days, and we are careful to keep the natural body well-hydrated. But what about our spiritual life? Are we as careful to keep hydrated with the “water of life” (Revelation 21:6)? The Lord said to the woman at Sychar’s well, “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” (John 4:14). |
