Nothing satisfies thirst as good as water.  We need to treat the Word of God as a river source that helps us grow; for that is exactly what happens as we study it. We become stronger and able to help others to partake of His life-giving strength. 

Flowing Streams

Streams travel down the hill;
Into the rivers they are to fill,
The river flows to another place;
As it waters the parched land along the banks.
On and on it spreads its life-giving flow,
So the grass, trees, and flowers are able to grow.
This also is said of your God’s care from above.
He flows as a river of life His love.
Stand by the banks, drink and then drink some more,
Of the sweet nourishment provided by the Lord.
As the river flows onward, so must you my friend.
Go forth to show others the way to Him.
To be one with your Lord and to flow His way,
You need to drink healthily of the Scriptures and choose to obey.
The more you take in the more wisdom overflows,
Like a flowing stream to water others with the life-giving truths you know.

John 7:38
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly
shall flow rivers of living water.

Proverbs 18:4
The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring
of wisdom as a flowing brook.

Isaiah 58:11
And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
