“God designed us to be walking and talking ‘rivers of life-giving water.’ Everywhere we go, each word we speak, all the deeds of our lives, are lived in the shadow of the cross and energized by the Spirit of God and intended to bring life and light to those still in darkness. How is your life example today?”
I don’t know about you, but those words above taken from the book Discipline Yourself for Godliness by Dr. John S. Barnett really challenge me. Is every deed of my life, every word that I speak a “river of life-giving water” to those in darkness? Every deed? Every word?
It causes me to remember that I, as a forgiven child of God, wear His name and the world is watching and listening. What is my witness saying to the world? I wonder if often times my loudest message is that I’m so busy in my own stuff to notice its cries.
Oh, Lord…open my eyes that I may see the needs of the world around me. Teach me Your humbleness and to speak the truth of your life giving water in everything that I do and say.
