Working on grounds care in our homeowners' association has given me a whole new
appreciation for water! I learned that an hour of automatic sprinkling will fill
a tuna can, with consideration for wind and evaporation.
Made me think about spiritual watering. If the sun and wind
of life’s challenges have evaporated your spiritual moisture, let me ask: Is
your “tuna can” being filled regularly—or do you let it get dry and rusty? Jesus,
our example, made it a priority to slip away from people and spend alone time
with the Father. And in the very first Psalm (i.e. priority) King David said those
who meditate on God’s Words never shrivel up and die when the land is parched.
As our valley becomes increasingly dry and sun-baked, let’s
commit to watering our spirits in the Word and Worship. Daily (sprinkler system
set on automatic) commit your day to the Lord, read and apply His Words, listen
for His voice, and make obedience a priority. There’s just nothing quite like a
lush green spirit and fruit-laden life to provide shade and refreshment for a
world in drought!
