“The Grass is Greenest Where you Water It!”

As we are in the heart of summer I know that you have, just as I have, notice that there are amazing looking yards with awesome green grass.

To keep the grass green, it must have water. Without water the grass dies and shows no life!

The green grass proclaims life and something real. May I tell you today that when you water your Spirit with the Word of God it produces life and shows something real.

The Word is life and it will cause your Spiritual life to be green and flourishing. The Word will cause the dry places to spring to life and the needy places to be filled.

Ephesians 5:26 (KJV)
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

John 4:14 (KJV)
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Many walk around with starving spirits and no life in the innermost being. They are longing for the life that only Jesus can give. If that is you or you know someone who is longing for the life and peace that the growth of the Spirit provides here is a scripture to encourage you and to share with someone you know,

Revelation 21:6 (KJV)
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

Did you notice that God did not put a lot of stipulations on giving us living water? All we need to do in be thirsty and ask. He will give us a fountain of water springing up from the inside and he will give it freely.

Then we must keep the water flowing by watering it consistently with the Word that He has provided for us.

God knows what we need. Just as when growing grass there are different soil that requires different care, all the soil needs water.

In the same way we may need different teachings or encouragements that are found in Christ Jesus but we all must let the Water of the Word dwell richly in us!

Are we Christians in name only? Do we use prayer and speaking of a promise of God when we are in trouble, or concerned, or desperate? I call that using God as our 911 stand by! Are you a 911 Christian?

In his writings Peter describes a person who does not let the water of the Word transform them into a truly living witness of Gods Power!

2 Peter 2:17 (KJV)
These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest;

Do you feel like that today? Are you enduring each day and just surviving? Are you tossed about with the things that are happening to you and around you?

I have good news! Jesus will give you the water that will satisfy that longing in your heart!

Psalm 72:6 (KJV)
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.

Remember that the grass is greenest where you water it and even when it goes through the winters of life and looks less green, spring brings the glow of color back to it.

So it is when we have the water of the Word in our hearts. Even though we may struggle through some trials, there is still life and the spring will bring forth color and joy!

Father, you spoke the world into existence and you speak to us through your Word that was written down by men inspired and destined to write it. Thank you that you honor your Word and when we are consistently reading, listening, and hiding your Word in our Hearts, we are growing and show life to all those around us. I ask that you touch each one who reads this with the knowledge that your Word is life and fill each of us with the deep desire to know your Word! I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Amen

Let God’s Word dwell in you!!
