Thursday's Living Water

Scripture –

"Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness,
Who seek the LORD:
Look to the rock from which you were hewn
And to the quarry from which you were dug.
Isaiah 51:1



Escuchadme, vosotros que seguís la justicia,
los que buscáis al SEÑOR.
Mirad la roca de donde fuisteis tallados,
y la cantera de donde fuisteis excavados.
Isaias 51:1

Saturday's Living Water

Scripture –

The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of disciples,
That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.

Our final review! It really is a wrap up for the week. How have you been doing? Has it helped with your study time. Creek Living Water is off and running. His Word transforms us if we will just dig in, reflect, chew, and then apply. Let's look at our last entry from Pastor John:

"My heart is that we will all drink deeply of the Living Word and be transformed!

As I was reading John 1:1 this week I was reminded of the True Message.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

Jesus is the logos (Greek) or Word. It means the 'message.' Jesus IS the message and He has left us His Living Word not so we can be filled with information, but so that we can be filled up with Him. As we drink in the Word - in our minds and hearts - we are drinking Him in as His Holy Spirit speaks to us!

I want to encourage you to continue on in Lectio.

Read and Listen to the Text allowing yourself some silence and listening for the Spirit's voice

Meditate on the words or phrase that the Holy Spirit is speaking to you about

Pray, speak to the Living Word and wrestle if necessary with what the Spirit has been speaking Contemplate by resting in God and praise Him for speaking to you

I pray that the River of Life continues pouring the hope and power of Jesus through you and out into the world!"
