"Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, Out of his heart will flow rivers of "living water." John 7:38

The world measures success by wealth, power, possessions etc. The believer knows that these things are not evil in and of themselves, but they are temporal and our soul is eternal, and the only things that really matter in this life are the things that are done by the Person and power of the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. He is the "living water" that Jesus was referring to in John 7:38. For He is the one that is at work within the believer both to will and to work for God's good pleasure. Philippians 2:13. He is the One who is our Teacher, He guides us into all truth by revealing to us the truth that is found only in the Word of God. Yet this enlightenment that He gives is never just for us, those rivers are flowing, a believer is not to be a reservoir, we are to be conduits! God's love for mankind, God's will for our lives, God's plan for salvation, God's greatness, God's power, He is the headwaters for the river that flows through us as believers, He is the source! Sadly many believers have no idea of the power that resides in them because they do not know the Word of God which contains 66 books or "tributaries" any of which contain enough power and life to bring light and life to the entire world! Check what is coming out of your mouth, is it life, is it witnessing for the Lord Jesus Christ, is it the Word of God that encourages, warns, comforts, and gives wisdom, is it a river of living water? Do our words have eternal significance?
