“Most people are not aware that sheep can go for months on end, especially if the weather is not too hot, without actually drinking, if there is heavy dew on the grass each morning…”
“Of course dew is a clear, clean, pure source of water. And there is no more resplendent picture of still waters than the silver droplets of the dew hanging heavy on leaves and grass at break of day….”
“The good shepherd, the diligent manager, makes sure that his sheep can be out and grazing on this dew-drenched vegetation….” A Shepherd looks at Ps. 23, p 41
Papa Father,
Thank you sooooooooo much for providing this quiet time with you in the morning. How I treasure it. This time center’s my heart on you. It centers me for the day. It gives me a sense of direction. Help me to guard this time with you. I choose to ingest the droplets of your Holy Spirit and grace this morning. The droplets are you and you are ‘the living water.’ They are life giving, grace filling, and healing. Heal what is broken or damaged in my heart. I know that there is much. Heal my mind, my memories, my attitude, my thought life. I am so full of myself. I choose to be filled with YOU this morning. Only you.
Drinking at the springs of living water
Happy now am I, My soul they satisfy.
Drinking at the springs of living water,
O wonderful and bountiful supply.
I thirsted in the baron land of sin and shame and nothing satisfying there’re I found.
UNTIL THE BLESSED CROSS OF Christ one day I found where springs of living water did abound.
