Go get some Water

Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. John 7:38 NIV

I teach aerobics so I sweat...a lot. Not just a little and I don't just glisten. My hair is soaked after each class as are my clothes. That's a good thing. But if I don't hydrate well all day every day, my body cannot function like it needs to. I get tired and winded much easier and my muscles get fatigued. Our bodies are mostly water and so we need to make sure we put enough water in especially when we use it up.

So it is with our spiritual fitness. If we are not well hydrated with Gods word and with faith, we will falter. We will be tired and not be able to withstand things that may come at us and try to keep us from praising God or doing what he has called us to do. Our muscles will be fatigued and we will not be able to fight the good fight. We must hydrate ourselves every day. When we do, living water will flow. That sounds good to me. I'm thirsty right now. I think I'll go get some water. And while I drink, I'll pray and thank God I have water to drink. And while I thank God I'll read his word and listen to what he has to say.

I will hydrate for both my physical well being and my spiritual well being.
