Revelation 22:17
“The [Holy] Spirit and the bride (the church, the true Christians) say, Come! And let him who is listening say, Come! And let everyone come who is thirsty [who is painfully conscious of his need of those things by which the soul is refreshed, supported, and strengthened]; and whoever [earnestly] desires to do it, let him come, take, appropriate, and drink the water of Life without cost.”
We are invited to drink the water of Life.
To drink of the waters which never run dry.
And there is no cost.
The One Who died for us has already paid the fee.
The Holy Spirit is the One Who refreshes, supports, and strengthens our soul.
During such difficult times, I need all these things.
I need my soul to be refreshed.
My mind reels with all the input from the world.
My will seems to be either too strong or too weak depending on the circumstances.
And my emotions are all over the place as so many are also experiencing these days.
But the Lord promises peace.
Peace that permeates every fiber of our being.
So, I call upon the Holy Spirit to refresh my soul and grant me the peace Jesus died to give.
Our souls are supported by the Holy Spirit.
When I am weak, He lifts me up.
He holds me up and supports my entire being.
Lastly, He strengthens me.
So, I go to the feet of Jesus and ask His Holy Spirit to live inside me, lead me, guide me, refresh, support and strengthen my soul.
If there were a line, I’d want to be first to receive a drink from the waters of Life.
I don’t want to live for a second without the Holy Spirit.
Today I choose to drink from the waters of Life and am grateful to Jesus for making it possible.
May you find the Lord is gracious and merciful to you as you drink from the waters of Life and you are refreshed, supported and strengthened today.
Daily Prayer:
O Lord, my God, thank You for reminding me of Your Living waters. Thank You for sending Your Son to be the sacrifice which made it possible for me to be infused with Your Holy Spirit. Thank You for the promise that my soul will be refreshed, supported, and strengthened as I come to You and drink. Thank You for this free gift which cost You everything but cost me nothing. Help me sit with You and be refreshed by Your Spirit. Strengthen me, Father, when my heart is heavy, and my burdens are so difficult to bear. May You lead, guide, and direct me in the way I should go. Help me follow You, Lord. Keep me on the path to Your grace and mercy. Don’t let me fall into the traps this world sets for me. Help me bless someone today. Thank You for hearing my prayer.
Answer: I have made a way for all My people to come to Me and drink of the Living waters and be satisfied.
