Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink, ‘you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” John 4:10 NKJV
John 4:10 always gives me pause to reflect not only on the significance of who Christ is…but also allows me to meditate and be ever vigilant to my surroundings. That includes the “world” and the procurement of all which is reflected in the news and everywhere else, film, media, streets, worldwide.
In other words, it is a way to remind us to “be acutely aware” of who Jesus is and who “is not.” There are false teachers, and preachers about us. And there are those who seem harmless enough, but they’re not of God.
John 7:15 -Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
There will always be good versus evil–and just the way the Spirit of God is here, so too is the spirit of evil. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are under a protective shield, and God becomes our very sanctuary and our Rock in which we can depend on and stand in unity.
We are to be wise and faithful to the LORD while on our journey in life. As we worship God and follow His voice, we become more in tune with Him, and our discerning spirit will guide us accordingly.
He will be our “go to” for whatever we are in need of…He is always there. Our comforter, as Jesus said, “I will send you a Comforter” and He will never leave you. (John 14:16)
Be wise and gentle, (Matthew 10:16) yet be firm in your belief and faith. Don’t let opposing views persuade you, be aware…and embrace the light always. Pray for those in the darkness and stay true to yourself, but most important—to God! It’s a journey worth traveling when you’re on the road with Christ.
There is no better traveling companion…that’s for sure!
“Praise You Father for Your love, for Your guidance, and for Your steadfast and unconditional love towards Your children, I pray that those in the darkness will seek Your light and love, as I pray those in the light will continue to walk the path of righteousness, now and always, in Jesus precious name, Amen.”
