Water

Isaiah 58:11

The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a well watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters never fail.

Drought in my soul-dry, brittle, and easily broken… BUT God will satisfy my soul so I will no longer be dry, brittle or easily broken. My bones will be strengthened. Bones hold us upright, our vital organs are contained by our bones. The stronger our bones the more upright we can walk.

Well-watered gardens are flourishing. They keep growing, they are not in drought. As the garden grows it produces fruit which nourishes those around us. Out of us will flow life into others. God’s word is a spring of water which will continually keep us from drought. It waters our garden of life so we may be fruitful for Him.

If I am not diligent in my garden, weeds will grow, disease will damage the fruit. My fruit will not grow and it will be bitter. They must be fed good nutrients and be watered and pruned in order to grow to their full potential and be healthy.

I must have healthy plants in the garden of my life, so I may feed those around me. Thorns must not be allowed to sprout up. Thorns harm people. Thorns can be words or actions that will damage instead of being nourishing. My life is a garden. I must take care of it, not being lazy, but diligent in looking for pests that can invade my garden and damage it. Carefully looking for weeds, the need for water or food. Rich soil equals healthy plants and healthy plants are a blessing to those around me.

Be blessed my dear friends! Take care of your garden!!!
