The Bible talks so often about water; the water of the Word, the well of salvation, and the river of life flowing out of us by the Holy Spirit. There is no room for drought for the believer! I’m not sure where this saying comes from but you’ve heard it before. “Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink.” Sometimes as Christians, I feel like we live this way. There is more than enough water in us and around us for us to be totally hydrated, but we are thirsty and dry because we don’t take advantage of the water that is available to us. One way we can water our faith is to continually meditate on the Word of God. God’s Word is full of living water that we can drink from daily. We don’t ever have to thirst again, because living water flows abundantly. Drink up daily! Joshua 1:8 is a good reminder of having the Word of God in the midst of us. It says that “This book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do all that is written within. Then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have good success.” We often are very good at meditating on our doubts. That is actually called worry. Meditate means to mull over and think about for an expected end. Jesus told us not to do that! We are to do the opposite, meditate on the Word, which builds our faith. When we continually mull over and think about the Word, we are keeping ourselves hydrated. Anything that has life needs water, and we need the water of the Word in our lives to be able to live the successful, prosperous life that God has called us to. We can live mediocre lives, average, barely keep our nose above the water lives, but why? Let’s God for God’s best, by watering our faith as we meditate on God’s Word, day and night, and believe it and speak it! Then we will prosper wherever we go! (Josh 1:7)
