Jesus said that whoever believes in him would have rivers of living water flow out them.
The other day we took our kids on a hike that had a small stream at the end. As we were looking at the stream, some spots were still while others were moving faster with small rapids. The areas with the accelerated flow usually had larger rocks or logs in the water. There were obstacles blocking the flow of the river, but this only served to accelerate the flow. Water is adaptable and if there is a way through it will find it. Since the rocks were blocking the flow of water it must flow through a constrained opening, which makes the water accelerate because of the increased pressure. Think of putting your finger on the end of a garden hose, it is the same principle. Obstacles and pressure only serve to accelerate the water.
As we take communion today let it be a reminder that God has a way through the obstacles and pressures of life that can make us accelerate. Our role is to stay focused on him and stay adaptable because God has a way through.
I am praying for you.
Daniel
