Water Ahead
The story is told of some travelers crossing a desert and, being overtaken with fatigue, were thirsty. Some were completely exhausted, while others continued their trek in search of water. Sighting what they thought was water, they were disappointed when it proved to be only a mirage — an atmospheric delusion. Two of them actually found water, and at their cry, “Water ahead,” a long line of hikers pressed forward and were strengthened and refreshed.
“Water ahead” sums up the gospel message. The prophet Isaiah records, “Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price” (Isaiah 55:1).
While here on earth, the Lord gave the invitation: “If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink” (John 7:37). As mentioned in last Saturday’s meditation, He said to the woman at the well, “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).
Have you drunk of that life-giving water?
