I'm in the desert... "every drop of water is precious" was written on our welcome packets. I'm buying water to drink, to brush my teeth, to make coffee... water is valuable for our health.
This morning I again consider scriptures like John 4 when Jesus promised a woman in the desert to provide a spring of water welling up to eternal life so that she will never be thirsty again. Every drop of water is precious.
John 13 has the title: "Jesus washes his disciples feet". Jesus tells Peter "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me." "Then, Lord, not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!", answered Peter. Every drop of water is precious.
In this dry and thirsty land I've seen more hunger and thirst than in the wet lowlands of Holland where I live. What I see naturally is also echoed spiritually as I hear the stories of the middle east brethren here who are passing out the living water as fast as they can. We need more who will hand out water, who will wash feet because of loving Jesus. And we are praying together to be more like Jesus.
Every drop of water is precious!
