God’s river is full…

Posted on December 30, 2007 by Fr. Jos+

The river of God is full of water. Psalm 65: 9c

A river is that stream of water which constantly flows and moves. It is never stagnant. It is always fresh and new. It is never the same. River takes its own course and river goes wherever it wills. The path that it takes new life emerges and new people move towards. Life is abundant around rivers and that is the history of mankind. For centuries civilizations found their way to full and rich rivers. For life got hope from water that moved and changed.

If a river is ever stagnant and unmoving and if you can step into the same river a second time, then life will soon disappear from it and around it. If the water is not flowing and changing, if it is not making new path ways then all that is in it will be dead soon. A stream of water becomes a river only when it can move from where it started making changes and new paths along the way. It finds its own way and it is powerful.

That is what God’s river is. God’s river is full and flowing. It is not empty or stagnant. It is not dead. It is full of water and that water will give life. God shared that water, the water that he took out of His River, which was dynamic and changing and baptized you. Therefore it is within you to be dynamic, changing, new, powerful and never dying even when a draught in life hits at an unwanted time.

For God’s river is full of water. God’s river softens with showers, blesses with growth, crowns with bounty, overflows with richness, girds with joy and fills the valleys of our lives with new direction. It is only natural for us to go towards God. We only become heavely civilization when we can settle down in the banks of God’s rivers that is filled with life-giving waters.

Fr. Jos

Be grateful to God for all the blessings in life.

True Religion

What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? - Micah 6: 8 (The New Revised Standard Version)

Right Worship

Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. - John 4: 24 (The Message Bible)

Living Faith

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works?... If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? - James 2: 14-16 (NRSV)
