It’s the New Year friends so we shouldn’t be surprised that every few interviews on the morning talk shows focus around diet, health and exercise. I know that good health is one of the greatest factors when it comes to quality of life so I pay attention. The vast majority of folk say the same thing. Exercise, get regular check-ups, don’t smoke, and eat a balanced diet of fruits, whole grains, colorful vegetables, fatty fish, etc. and watch salt, sugar and trans fat intake. This morning one nutritionist focused on the importance of drinking water. Not only does it keep us hydrated, it flushes the toxins out of our system. It reminded me of the living water Jesus talked about. There are several references to it in the New Testament. I think the living water is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will give us spiritual nourishment and help us eliminate the toxic sin in our life. According to Jesus’ words in John this living water is ours for the asking. I hope this is a year when we will all resolve to be both physically healthy and spiritually healthy. It all begins with water. Drink up!
Heavenly Father, we want the living water of the Holy Spirit in our life. We pray your blessings on this day. We ask in the name of your Holy Son. Amen.
