 Drinking at the well again! The editor of the other site--Dig Deeper Devotions has decided not to publish it anymore. She has another site.

I'm having issues with memory--part of being 84! My Doctor calls it Senior Moments, and it's true, mostly I'm a normal senior citizen. 

Not sure if this site still works, but I'll give it a try. If you see this, kindly reply.

 2/22/2021 Water, Water, Everywhere

Are you dehydrated, stagnant? 

You can't control much of what's happening around you. But do what you can. Receive from the One who gives to the thirsty, who causes them to "become a spring of water welling up to eternal life" (John 4:13-14). 

Come, drink from the fountain of Life. Not from a stagnant pond or a puddle of water. Find a rushing stream, a babbling brook. Be refreshed. Move, head downstream. The rushing water may not be where you want to be. But go. Go with the current, not against it. 

Where are we going? We can only see a short distance ahead and behind. But God is the Alpha--he was there at the beginning of life. He's the Omega--he is there at the end of life. 

Meanwhile, be "a well-watered garden," a spring whose waters never fail even in the desert (Isaiah 58:11). "The Spirit and the Bride say, 'Come.' And let the one who hears say, 'Come.' And let let the one who is thirsty come, let the one who desires, take the water of life without price" (Revelation 22:1).

"There is a river that flows from God above. There is a fountain that's filled with God's own love. Come to the water. There is a vast supply."

"Flow River, flow, set our hearts on fire. Shine, Jesus, shine." 

God, you know where we've been and where we're going. You've ordained our destination. Keep us in the life-giving stream that flows from the throne above. Amen

Re-posting one of my favorite poems, a prophetic Christmas poem:

Next Time

The first time He came
He was a tiny baby.
So few saw Him:
Some shepherds,
Wise men from afar.

But next time He comes
A trumpet will sound
Every eye will see him:
Those who eagerly await him,
And those who curse his name.

Not a baby next time!
Lord of Lords, King of Kings,
And the night will not be silent!
Nor will it be dark–God’s glory
Will shine all around!
