Jesus answered and said to her,
“If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you,
‘Give Me a drink,’
you would have asked Him,
and He would have given you living water.”
John 4:10 NKJV
This chapter and verse always gives me pause to reflect not only on the significance of who Christ is…but also allows me to meditate and be ever vigilant to my surroundings. That includes the “world” and the procurement of all which is reflected in the news and every where else, film, media, streets, worldwide.
In other words, it is a way to remind us to”be acutely aware” of who Jesus is and who “is not.” There are false teachers, and preachers about us. And, there are those who seem harmless enough, but they’re not of God.
There will always be good versus evil…and just the way the Spirit of God is here, so too is the spirit of evil.
When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are under a protective shield…and God becomes our very sanctuary, and our Rock in which we can depend and stand in unity.
We are to be wise and faithful to the LORD while on our journey in life. As we worship God and follow His voice, we become more in tune with Him, and our discerning spirit will guide us accordingly. He will be our “go to” for whatever we are in need of…He is always there. Our comforter, as Jesus said, “I will send you a Comforter” and He will never leave you. (John 14:16 KJV)
Be wise and gentle, (Matthew 10:16 KJV) yet be firm in your belief and faith. Don’t let opposing views persuade you, be aware…and embrace the light always.
Pray for those in the darkness, and stay true to yourself…but most important…to God!
It’s a journey worth traveling when you’re on the road with Christ. There is no better traveling companion…that’s for sure!
“Praise You Father for Your love, for Your guidance, and for Your steadfast and unconditional love towards us, Your children, I pray that those in the darkness will seek Your light and love, as I pray those in the light continue to walk the path of righteousness, now and always, in Jesus precious name, Amen.”
John 4:10-15 New King James Version (NKJV)
10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
11 The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? 12 Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”
13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
