Spiritual Hydration
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
Last week during a doctor’s appointment I discovered that the reason I had been feeling fatigued and drained of energy was due in part to dehydration. It’s amazing how important water is to our bodies and to our physical existence. While doing some research on water, I discovered the following benefits: Drinking water reduces headaches, improves our memory and our mood. Water flushes the body of waste. Water reduces the risk of kidney stones and bladder infections. Water also promotes healthy skin. It energizes our muscles and it also lubricates our joints as well as helps to maintain our blood pressure.
While doing this research, the thought came to me, that we can be spiritually dehydrated just as we can be physically dehydrated. I thought of the woman at the well in John 4:10.
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
