Trinity Springs in Idaho claims to have some of the oldest, deepest, freshest water on earth—it’s supposedly the oldest known water from the deepest known source. Perhaps that’s true, but here’s something we know for certain. The Holy Trinity provides us with living waters that can fill us to the brim. Jesus asked the Father, and He sent the Spirit, which is like a river flowing from within us (John 7:38).
We’re called to be filled with the Spirit, meaning we should yield every part of our lives to Jesus Christ so He can live His life through us by His Spirit. In doing so, we find the Spirit begins to develop Christ’s nine basic character traits within us: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).
A good prayer to offer today is the stanza in Adelaide Pollard’s hymn, “Have Thine Own Way, Lord.” Pray it aloud and ask God to fulfill it: “Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way! Hold o’er my being absolute sway. Fill with Thy Spirit till all shall see Christ only, always, living in me!”
Multitudes of Christians are living in a dry and thirsty land, not realizing that God has wells of living water that may be theirs for the asking.
