Listening To The Word - 1 Year

DAY 262 OF 365

The River of Life

Ezekiel 47:1-12
“I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the East…the man…led me through water that was ankle deep…that was knee deep…water that was up to the waist…but now it was a river that I could not cross…deep enough to swim in – a river no one could cross…where the river flows everything will live…fruit trees will grow on both banks of the river…their fruit will serve for food, and their leaves for healing.”

The presence of God through the Spirit is like a river of life that we are invited into. The surrender of our life and will to Jesus (not just our sin) requires an exchange - our lives for the life of Jesus.

Will we fully trust Jesus in and for everything?

Will we trust His Spirit?

Will we move beyond our toes or knees into the river of His presence and be carried wherever He takes us?

This river is life, but the plunge into it involves risk, involves letting go. The life giving fruit and healing leaves alongside the river are God’s transforming gifts to the nations. Let us not be spectators of this river of life, but active participants and carriers of His life to the nations!

Lord Jesus, I trust your presence and choose to join you in the depths of the river of life!
