Source of life

The singers as well as the players on instruments shall say, All my springs (my sources of life and joy) are in you [city of our God]. Psalm 87:7 AMP

Let's just repeat that last phrase, All my springs (sources of life and joy) are in you, [city of our God]. 

There are so many people, things, organisations that we think we can get our source of life and joy from. But in my experience of living on this earth for a mere 44 years, all of these people, things and organisations, can and will at some point fall short in providing life and joy. There is only one source that is completely trustworthy and always available.

Yet for us there is [only] one God, the Father, Who is the Source of all things and for Whom we [have life], and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through and by Whom are all things and through and by Whom we [ourselves exist]. 1 Corinthians 8:6 AMP

Life, comes and goes so quickly. We have a responsibility to live our lives wisely and for the purposes that God planned to us. It can be difficult to stay focussed when the trials come, but that in itself is what the trial is all about, sticking with God, no matter what. Continuing to choosing to believe that God is with us, has not left us, and will bring life from the circumstance. Life in abundance, to the full, until it overflows. 

The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). John 10:10 AMP

God continually reminded me of this truth at the weekend, as most rooms where we stayed on the Camp Quality camp at The Tops Conference centre at Stanwell Park had a poster proclaiming John 10:10. What a tangible reminder of Who God is, our source of life.

Question for today, are you feeling drained and out of energy to do life? Why not take time right now to confess your feelings to God, to acknowledge Him as your source, and ask Him to show you the next step to take in the precious life He has gifted you. He is the source of all renewal.

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary; there is no searching of His understanding.

He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to multiply and making it to abound].

Even youths shall faint and be weary, and [selected] young men shall feebly stumble and fall exhausted;

But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.

Isaiah 40:28-31 AMP
