Now

Verse of the Day:
John 4:13-14


Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again; but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.


This verse is based off the woman at the well. She couldn't quite understand what Jesus was teaching her. She didn't understand how Jesus could give her living water when he didn't even have a bucket. Jesus pointed to the well water and said that whoever drinks this water would be thirsty again, but that who ever drank the water Jesus provided, they would have eternal life.

Sometimes, it's easy for us to get confused about this, too. The woman at the well wanted water at that very moment. In our own lives, we want popularity, fun, and security at this very moment. God is willing to care for us NOW. Are we willing to accept that? Or are we too lost in the things of this world that we want at this very instant?

The Simple Truth: Sometimes we get too wrapped up in the things we want RIGHT NOW that we forget that God is willing to care for us RIGHT NOW.

Pray:

Lord, help me to realize that you are always here for me. When I want earthy things at an instant, help me to realize that you can give me your care even sooner and that it is worth much more. Amen.

Let your light shine.
-Lo
