Jesus
responded to her (the Samaritan woman), “Everyone who drinks this (well) water
will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water I will give will never
again thirst. The water I provide becomes a living well; life that brings new
and everlasting life!” (John 4:13-14)
Think of all of society’s needs; the things
that threaten people and destroy their lives in the world around you today. How
can you know the answers? Experts are everywhere. Science studies every problem,
seeking solutions. But, these problems are varied and they are interrelated in
complex patterns. Jesus says these words to explain to the Samaritan woman that
God has the best answers for human needs. Also, God desires the very best for
His people. That is the expertise that people in the world around you need if
they are to prosper.
Recognize
that – apart from God – human answers are short-term, limited responses to your
peoples’ needs. Knowing that the Lord has the answers people need and that He
wants each of them to find the life that is best for them, listen to Him for your
guidance. Send your people to Him when they have needs.
Recognize that the Lord God is the true
expert for all of life’s concerns.
