Hi everyone, I am sharing a post with you here. I wrote it today about my appreciation of water that God has given us. I am diagnosed with autism and it was hard for me to have water poured on me as a child because of my senses, but I liked simple washes. I haven't mentioned that below to keep it positive and how much I like being around water. It is so good for my senses.
This is good for me to do to get me through the colder months.
Please do add your thoughts and appreciation of water.
This is an ode of love to God the Father in my life for the water that he has provided for me. I love to be around water.
To be around water has brought me much delight in my life. One of my fondest memories is going on a school trip to a seaside and sitting down at age 6 to 7 and eating a hamburger that my mother prepared which was cold and the seagulls were around me and I was in front of the most beautiful sea and it just calmed me and I was mesmerised by the beauty of the sea. It has always been like that way and they never fail to calm me. I discovered that I loved to be around waterfalls later in my life and I made a Youtube page mainly for this project of going to visit them in parks or in nature.
Water has always been in our lives-“And God called the dry land Earth: and the gathering of the waters he Seas: and God saw it was very good” (Genesis 1: 10).
God can bless us with water. “And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing” (Ezekiel 34:26).
In the Old Testament, Holy Water used to be used to consecrate ground to.
"And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water" (Numbers 5:17).
The tradition was kept to the New Testament and water cleansed us from sin (Romans 6:3-4).
Jesus became a living water in us which provides us spiritual cleansing through the Holy Spirit. (John 4:10).
Water to can be blessed today to be made Holy for your purposes which prepares you for eternal life (John 7: 37-39).
I love to see water falling from Heaven to earth. It reminds me of God and his everlasting link to us the provider. I love the words of (Psalm 104) ”He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth”
This shows our dependency on God to sustain and nurture us with water and food for the cattle and us. The words are beautiful. I like to watch the rain come down sometimes from heaven and see long shards of rain coming down from heaven above. Water is made in God’s chambers which is heavenly. To me it helps me to appreciate water now as when I was a child I never liked to drink plain water, my fondness for it is growing for it as an adult because of where it comes from, a heavenly source. We need water to sustain us. I will add this here I was having a headache once and collected a small amount of rain water as it was falling and drank a small amount and it suspended instantly the headache from me. My faith and God’s Holy Spirit allowed that to happen.
Water can be cleansing and purifying.-
“Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you” (Ezekiel 36:25-27).
Let us remind ourselves that it was God who provided his people in the time of the Old Testament water for his people and sustain them in the wilderness years.
"Moses cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became sweet" (Exodus 15: 22-27).
I like the imagery of waterfalls in (Psalm 42) they were not physical, but they were used to demonstrate how majestic and powerful God is and our call to depend on him. “Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me (Psalm 42).
If you are felling blue then the buoyancy of (Isaiah 43) can lift you up –this is an ode to sonnet and of love of God “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:... Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters”
God will come through any challenge to remove our heavy burdens “ Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early" (Psalm 46).
(Isaiah 41) speaks of the beauty of earth and like from a dry sponge it was filled with water. It was dry and then it became alive. Having overcome challenges in my life with God this has special meaning for me. “I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.”
It is God's love for us that leads him to lead us beside still waters "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters (Psalm 23:2).
Waters from heaven is given to us by God "Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water" (Psalm 65).
A rare flash of a rainbow's technicolour brilliance gives me much joy and harkens and reminds me of God my eternal provider's promise to us ( Genesis 9: 13-17).
Those in the midst of difficulties hang on "For he has given the early rain for your vindication;
he has poured down for you abundant rain" Joel (2: 23-34).
In the Bible water appears changed in the New Earth, but I look forward to see what God provides for us I am sure it will be pleasing. Staying with now, I had what turned out to be a beautiful time here on earth with the nature and the natural world and I cannot deny that. God said it was pleasing to himself-the earth.
I hope to see small waterfalls after the 2nd resurrection and gardens again of Paradise. Thank you for what you gave me. It was sufficient for me and loved by me.
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.” (Revelation 21:1).
“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations” (Revelation 22).
"You've seen my testimony, you've seen my love and evidence.
