Jeremiah 17:8 He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit."
When you pipe water from one point to another it is not as complicated as having to dig a furrow and to lead the water to where you need it. Often the walls of the furrow collapse and the water flows every where but where you need it. It is like playing sand castles on the beach. We have a bricked and cemented furrow running from the main conservancy dam to all the 7 properties feeding the dams on those properties. To small holdings up from us the cattle have broken the furrow causing no water to flow except to drain away into their land causing a swamp.
When we think of it the love of God is bigger than the biggest dam and through His Holy Spirit He has formed furrows for His love to flow to where it is needed. When we maintain the furrow it flows to where it is needed but when for what ever reason we do not maintain the furrow or allow it to be damaged then that flow cannot get to where it needs to be. We maintain and care for that furrow through prayer, praise, thanksgiving and fellowship and in that way God’s love comes to those in need. Each of us are accountable to ensure that God’s love continues to flow.
Be encouraged today to keep God’s love flowing.
David
Point to ponder: God’s love is like a river keep it flowing.
