At any given time, you\u2019ll see me with my \u201cmust-have\u201d 30 oz. Yeti mug with ice water in it. After a couple of physical issues and how they could have been averted by drinking more water, I now know the benefits of drinking water. Nutritionists say we should drink half our body weight in ounces every day. So a 135-pound person should be drinking 67 ounces of water each day. So, with my 30 oz. Yeti mug, I just need a little more than 2 mugs full. But, I drink a lot more than that. Now I\u2019m programmed with a built-in \u201clow-fluid indicator\u201d and when I start to get a little thirsty, I know it\u2019s time to fluid-up! <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

God wired us with this built-in \u201clow-fluid indicator.\u201d It’s called THIRST. If the fluid level gets low, the signals will flare. Dry mouth. Achy head. Weak knees. Dizziness. If we deprive our bodies of fluid, our bodies will tell us. When my granddaughter had a headache, I heard my daughter ask “How much water are you drinking?”<\/p>\n

God also wired us with a built-in “low-spiritual fluid indicator”. If we deprive our souls of spiritual water, the signals will flare — like heavy-hearted, sad, weary, depressed, grumpy, fearful, anxious, envious, moody, angry. If we deprive ourselves of spiritual fluid, our souls will reveal it.<\/p>\n

In John 4:13-14, Jesus said, \u201cAnyone who drinks this (natural) water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Jesus offers living water that will permanently satisfy our thirst. If we feel unsatisfied with our lives, that\u2019s called spiritual thirst. And the only one who can quench that thirst is the One who said, \u201cI thirst.\u201d Jesus thirsted on the cross so we don\u2019t have to thirst. He paid for what we don\u2019t have to pay for. He became thirsty so we never have to be thirsty again.<\/p>\n

A that never runs dry. It’s time to “hang out” at THAT FOUNTAIN. There we’ll be refreshed, restored, rejuvenated and replenished……and not only will we know and feel the difference — others will recognize the difference. They\u2019ll say \u201cYou\u2019ve been hanging out at THE FOUNTAIN” again. How about taking me with you next time? I need my fluids refilled, too!\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
