Water is one of the most powerful forces in nature, providing life-giving and restorative properties, energy for appliances and human bodies, and also an equally destructive force. What does water represent?
Ask Noah: as he experienced a raging tsunami of immeasurable proportions, annihilating everything in its path, but leading to the rebirth of God’s creations
Ask David: as he sang about being led beside the still waters, restoring and refreshing his soul
Ask Moses and the Israelites: the Red Sea parting letting them embark on a new life
Ask the Egyptians: who felt that same Red Sea engulf their lives
Ask Jesus: whose baptism confirmed his identity
Ask the Samaritan woman at the well: who when offered the living water found it was more powerful than the well water
Ask Peter: finding out that water could support him as he walked to Jesus
My most admired property of water is the ability of one small drop to drip
drip
drip
drip
drip
upon a seemingly immovable object, a jagged, solid rock until it is reformed, refinished, and refined into a smooth, beautiful, polished sculpture so perfect, glistening in the radiant sun.
Now, ask yourself: what does water mean to you?
