Drink Deep!

John 4: 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."

I have a friend who completely redid her family farm homestead.

One day during a tour, she showed me the large cisterns in the basement area. I had never seen one before.

The difference between a cistern and a well, is that a cistern doesn’t have a steady, consistent, water supply.

One thing that makes a cistern work great, is that it should never leak.

As the water is removed from a cistern though, the water supply runs low.

On the other hand, water that’s removed from a well, just gets fresher and even sweeter.

When I lived in Pickett, the water from our well was really sweet.

Most people don’t know what I’m talking about, when I talk about sweet water.

Here’s a few good questions…Are you a well, or a cistern? Do your walls leak, when trouble comes?

When your supply runs low, do you trust in the One who brings the supply, or do you trust in your bank account?

Our church has fewer people in it than it used to, and my guess is that in 2015, our supply might be lower than in some years.

This much I know…we will trust in the Supplier—and not in the supply!

What our God brings, is always sweet to the taste, and His wellspring, always gives consistent supply…
