"A Well-Watered Breed In A Parched World"

 

 

“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7‭-‬8 NLT

Flourishing in Jesus is about leaving behind a shallow faith for a deeper walk with Him. It is not about attaining perfection or arriving at a specific destination. Its not about having your life put together or avoiding struggles. Its about flourishing where you have been planted. As a Well-Watered Breed, you won't have a perfect life, but it will be full of hope, brimming with purpose, and fueled by grace.

For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water - Jeremiah 2:13 KJV

Jeremiah used the image of a broken cistern to describe the Israelites’ wayward desires. Choosing sin and idol worship is like drinking from a broken, dirty cistern. It only leads to sickness of the soul. But choosing Christ, the fountain of living waters, leads to salvation of the soul.

Drinking from broken wells is part of the human condition. We spend a lot of our lives trying to force empty wells to provide for us. Just as you can’t make a broken mug hold your beverages, you can’t make an idol yield lasting joy.

Our empty wells may look different from those of Jeremiah’s day, but they result in the same disappointment. Maybe you have turned to one of those wells for satisfaction and was disappointed.

The list of empty wells and broken cisterns we drink from could be so numerous, perfection, health, relationships, promotions, homes, and more.

The fountain of Christ’s blood, shed for you, still flows freely. Set aside your broken cisterns and receive the mercy of God, made possible through his Son. Stoop low to drink today.

Beloved, make a list of the broken mugs and empty wells that you have turned to for satisfaction. Ask God to help you set them aside and look only to him. Whatever you’ve sought apart from the Savior, God can redeem it for his glory.

You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.
Psalms 16:11 NLT

Your empty wells shall be filled with satisfying water from this month. Your thirst shall be quenched, as you'd drink to your satisfaction. Your life, ministry, career, and all that's yours shall be well - watered.

I welcome you to the last lap of the year. Happy new month.
