It’s All About the Water: The River of Life Flowing from God’s Throne

 

It’s All About the Water (Revelation 22:1)

River of the water of life clear as crystal flowing from God’s throne


"Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb." – Revelation 22:1

   Water is essential to life. The human body is made up of nearly 70% water, and the earth itself is covered by approximately 70% water. Many health challenges are linked to dehydration headaches, joint pain, muscle fatigue, and weakened bone function often result from a lack of proper hydration. Blood pressure may improve with adequate water intake, and even blood sugar levels can be positively affected when the body is properly nourished with water.

   Water itself is formed from hydrogen and oxygen, two elements working together in perfect balance. In the same way, spiritual life flows from divine harmony. Spiritually speaking, the water of life flows from the Word of God and the Spirit of God. We access the Word daily through Scripture, and we connect with the Spirit through prayer and communion with God.

   The water of the Word washes and cleanses the soul, renewing the mind and purifying the heart. The water of the Spirit enables believers to flow freely in God’s presence, guided by truth, power, and divine direction. In the vision of the New Jerusalem, the angel leads John to this river clear as crystal flowing directly from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

   It’s All About the Water!

   Firstly, Shown by the Angel. The angel reveals the river of the water of life, guiding humanity toward this vital source. Divine revelation invites deeper understanding and practical application for daily living.

   Secondly, Clear as Crystal. The purity of this water signifies untainted truth and perfect life. There is no distortion, no impurity only clarity that refreshes the body, mind, and spirit.

   Thirdly, Flowing from the Throne. This river originates directly from the throne of God and of the Lamb. Its source guarantees an endless, divine supply, one that sustains eternal life and abundant living.

   In conclusion, embracing the water of life physically through proper hydration and spiritually through the Word and the Spirit creates balance between life and death, strength and weakness. This living water leads believers into abundant and eternal vitality in every aspect of existence.

   It’s All About the Water! (Revelation 22:1)

📖 Reflection: Am I consistently drinking from God’s living water through His Word and Spirit, or am I trying to sustain spiritual life on empty reserves?

💡 Action Step: Commit to daily Scripture reading and intentional prayer this week, asking God to refresh, cleanse, and renew you with His living water.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...
