daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? Some interesting scripture today. Check this out;

Jeremiah 2:12-13
Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD. For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
KJV

There are gobs of references to living water in the Word and we know that without water, everything dies. Those verses speak of our desertion of God and Godly ways and as we build our own paths and ways of living the result is we dry up because we do not and can not produce life. Check this;

Ecclesiastes 1:14-15
I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and striving after wind.
NAS

Solomon did everything, tried everything and came to this conclusion. All is vanity. Think about it, all we do if for the purpose of satisfying self is indeed vanity, like chasing the wind thinking you could catch it. Absurd! We see the result of the wind but we cant catch it and it stop. Living water runs forever so if we drink of it the result is life everlasting. The mindset that these bring into focus makes one realize that the striving without the thirst quencher is worthless. You will die absolutely without that living water Jesus supplies while trying to reach that top of the hill thinking you alone can manage to do what nobody ever has.

Isaiah 55:2-3
"Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And delight yourself in abundance.
"Incline your ear and come to Me.
Listen, that you may live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
According to the faithful mercies shown to David.
NAS

John 6:27
"Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man shall give to you, for on Him the Father, even God, has set His seal."
NAS

We all need to work and we all need food to live but these speak of our goals. These things we work for in the flesh are for our fleshly needs so we can take in and present the spiritual water Jesus provides for eternal life. Jesus' words are living to us and to the world. This gift of salvation is the living water that gives us life everlasting. Our chasing after the wind as it were will be forgotten and even if it isn't forgotten on earth it will be no benifit to us if we miss salvation because we lose all without Jesus.
