Stay Hydrated

In these hot, dog days of summer, you often hear people say that it is very important to drink lots of fluids in order to not become dehydrated, and cause harm to your body. My son Brian has been doing a lot of conditioning in preparation for the upcoming football season, and we can't seem to keep enough Gatorade around the house!! He drinks it down about as fast as we can buy it!!

It got me to thinking about how we sometimes allow our souls to become "dehydrated", by not seeking God in His Word, not going to church, not taking time to pray, or allowing the busyness of our lives to interfere with doing God's work.

Jesus offers us "living water" to keep our souls hydrated. In John 4:14, he tells the Samaritan woman "Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life".

Stay safe in these hot days, and be sure to drink plenty of fluids!! Likewise, lets keep hydrating our souls with the "Living Water" that Jesus offers us!!

It's much better to drink from the well of living water than to sip from the sewer.
