Have you ever considered that our greatest need is stillness?
Consider that those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31). How does this work?
...1. We let the Lord lead us beside the still waters where He restores our soul (Psalm 23:2-3).
2. We keep our hearts tender towards Him, because His eyes run to and fro throughout the whole earth looking to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are perfect (tender) towards Him (2 Chronicles16:9).
3. From this place, if we have a need, we can cry (call out) to Him and He promises to answer as well as strengthen us (Psalm 138:3).
4. And the joy and sheer pleasure which comes from His presence as (such when we sit in stillness before Him) develops into a path of life that sustains us (Psalm 16:11 paraphrase).
As Jesus declared, and as characteristic of all those who thirst:
"...I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God..." (Revelation 21: 6b-7)
"If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink..." (John 7:37b)
"But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." (John 4:14)
May your strength be renewed today in His presence, may His refreshing come as you drink from The Fountain!
With great love for you in Christ,
--Paul Norcross
