As we approach spring time and Fly Fishing is just around the corner my mind to the lessons we can gain from the River that surrounds us when we are fishing and I think of a different river which flows with living water. This river gives life wherever it flows. “And it shall come to pass, that ever thing that liveth, which moveth, withersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.” (Ezekiel 47:9 KJV) So when we are thirsty and feeling dry spiritually may the next time we hit the river seek after the water that will quench our thirst for all eternity and that is the living water that flows from Emanuel’s vanes. There is water where we will never again thirst and the only one that can give us that water to drink is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
It is through Christ alone that we find our completeness and it is through His Word where we will never thirst for truth because Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life no man cometh to the Father but by me.” (John 14:6)
To close this blog post it seems appropriate to close it with this video from YouTube of the chorus “Let the River Flow” by Darrell Evens.
