RUN TO THE WELL

Bible verse:
The response of the Samaritan woman Jesus met by the well is not surprising because it is very natural. Imagine someone you don't know, sitting by a well and he says he can give you water. Your natural mind will run through his personality, at least with your eyes since you don't know. Of course, you will notice he does not have anything to draw water with. So you will just conclude that he needs help, instead of offering you help.

The Samaritan woman, only took the words of Jesus serious when He began to speak to her personally. That's what happens to us, when we come to the well of life, we see ourselves clearly, our nature is X-rayed right before our eyes and some of us rather  than respond like the Samaritan woman we run away. Immediately the Samaritan woman saw herself!, saw her weakness as exposed by the word, she accepted her flaws in awe and ran to testify immediately, she accepted the water and the life Jesus offered her.  Some of us have been running away from our exposed nature. Do we go to church? YES, Do we pay our tithes and observe other religious activities? YES, but we know deep down that in truth, we are far apart from the requirements of the WORD.

Jesus told this beloved woman by the well, that the water He will give her will well up in her unto everlasting life. The water has to keep flowing consistently for it to last as long as eternity and we have to keep getting filled .

As transparent as a clean water, that's how transparent our lives are before the word. The word does not reflect our lives that much for the fun of it or to embarrass us ,rather, it is done for us to accept the dictate of the word, we must run to the well and fountain of life and accept our New Self as revealed in the Word.

Our level of receptivity to the water that flows from the well of Life, shows shows how Thirsty we are for God.

CENTRAL POINT: Running to the Word to receive instructions and our level of obedience is a show of how Thirsty we are for God.

PRAYER: Father, I ask for insight of your word and the heart to see myself with your eyes.

THINK ON THIS: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. (John 4:14)
