We have a river nearby and this was the place wherein we took a bath and fetch waters for our plants and to our Comfort Rooms. This is the river where we washed our dirty clothes too. But now each house in our barrio has its own tap source of water from our Municipality. That’s why only people living near the riverside are the one who take advantage of this water resources.
Waters flowing from the river remind me of Elijah, a prophet named in the Bible who experienced God’s faithfulness found in 1Kings Chapter 17 when they experienced no rain for few years. God commanded Him to go to Jordan River, so he can hide near Cherith Creek. Because of Elijah’s obedience, ravens brought him bread and meat twice a day, and he drank water from the creek for him to survice. Kindly read the succedding verse and you will amaze on how God provided his needs.
Flowing water from the river reminds us that God will always provide our needs according to His glorious riches. The water never stops flowing as God’s blessing is always overflowing. We can also experience stillness of the waters in the river. When we experienced God’s abundant blessings, we can ultimately experience peace as well.
God is the greatest of all.
