Every Friday
The Presence of Water
By Max Lucado
I did not grow up on a ranch, but I was raised in the land of ranches. I learned that there are two ways to increase the value of ranch land: strike oil or discover water. If a ranch has a river or creek running through it or drillable water within it, it will be advertised as a ranch with “live water.” The presence of water changes dry ranch land into useful property.
The presence of Spirit-filled Christ followers does the same to society. The Holy Spirit flows out of us into the dry places of the world. This is how revival happens. There are 2.3 billion Christians in the world. Suppose each one each day responded to the prompting of the Spirit to bless someone else. Might revival happen in our day?
