John 7:38-' If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink, he who believes in me as the Scripture said from his innermost being will flow rivers of living water'.



Jesus spoke these words at a moment no one was expecting. He said these words at the end of a week long feast. The reaction from the people was immediate. Some said he was a prophet, some said he was the Christ. Some people in the crowd wanted to seize him but no one laid a hand on him.
The question I ponder is how is our walk along the river?. Are we overflowing in the Spirit or stagnant?. Are we filled with the Spirit or dry and thirsty?. Are we being refreshed in the Spirit or stale?.
Jesus wants us to bend down and drink from the river. He wants us to drink deeply until we are satisfied. He longs for us to drink from this water every day.
