There is a reason we remember scripture. It is because God’s Words are powerful, not necessarily our trying to explain him. His word, can explain himself.
So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11 NASB https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.55.11.NASB
Through Jesus, he gives us Living Waters. Just like we need water to keep us alive, we need this spiritual living water, to live.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God? Psalms 42:2 NASB https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.42.2.NASB
Comment from John Macarthur Study Bible:
† 4: 10 living water. The OT is the background for this term, which has important metaphorical significance. In Jer 2: 13 , Yahweh decries the disobedient Jews for rejecting Him, the “fountain of living waters.” The OT prophets looked forward to a time when “living waters will flow out of Jerusalem” ( Eze 47: 9 ; Zec 14: 8 ). The OT metaphor spoke of the knowledge of God and His grace which provides cleansing, spiritual life, and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit (cf. Is 1: 16– 18 ; 12: 3 ; 44: 3 ; Eze 36: 25– 27 ). John applies these themes to Jesus Christ as the living water which is symbolic of eternal life mediated by the Holy Spirit
Jesus is calling. Do you hear his voice? Will you recognize you own shortcomings, and recognize the need for a savior today? Don’t wait. This world is passing away, but eternity is forever!
Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. Revelation 3:20 NASB https://bible.com/bible/100/rev.3.20.NASB
Hope & Encouragement
For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Romans 15:4 NASB https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.15.4.NASB
Meek, is not weak! It is the example of self control, while being filled with the spirit. The verse below, is quoted from Psalm 37:11, by Jesus.
It’s great to make plans, but they better include God, because in the end, HE WILL direct our final path!
The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9 NASB https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/pro.16.9/27116
Life is short, so we must use our time wisely, in light of all eternity.
When things get tough, who do you turn to? Do you look for comfort in the worlds pleasures, or do you take comfort in the one true God, through Jesus Christ?
