Then he showed me the river whose waters give life, sparkling like crystal, flowing out from of the throne of God and of the Lamb. Rev 22:1 (Amplified)
In my attempts to be the best at being healthy, I have a bottle of life water, 0 calories, 0 total fat, 0 sugars because it’s naturally sweetened (they say); vitamin enhanced, yumberry pomegranate flavored water beverage with my protein mix. Sounds refreshing doesn’t it? While drinking, I began to think of the true water of life, the living water, pure and refreshing.
In this passage, John is shown the river of the water of life in a vision, while exiled. A fresh, ever-flowing evidence of a pure sparkling water coming from of the throne of God. It takes imagination to envision God’s design of the water flowing from His throne down the center from it, with a tree of life on each side bearing twelve different types of fruit. Being an artist and designer, we tend to think outside the box for creative ways to display our talents, and this example from the Ultimate Designer communicates His love, as well as exemplifying His peace, joy and the refreshing that can only come from Him. Peace like a river is a phrase I love because it takes me to a place beside the waters, where there is a calm, a peacefulness, and a place of restoration for me (Psalm 23:2-3). This will be a wonderful sight to see.
This water of life was described as being a sea of glass, like unto crystal, clear and pure. Can you imagine having seen this water? A water that cannot compare to anything we’ve seen with the natural eye. Verse 17 says, Come and let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely. It is ours for the asking. Jesus told the woman at the well - if you only knew the gift of God, and Who it is that saith to you, give Me to drink, thou would have asked of Him, and He would have given thee living water.
Living water that truly is life, not contained in a bottle and comparative only in description with the attributes from my life water; 0 calories, yet He is filling; 0 total fat, although He is the bread of life; 0 sugars, for He is naturally sweet, yes, sweeter than a honeycomb; vitamin enhanced, He who loads us daily with benefits and fully fortified (Hebrews 4:16) to help us start our day. Who wouldn't want to drink of this water?
I urge you to get some life water today because this is the daily refreshing that we need for our souls!
Until the morning, be blessed,
Cynde
