John 7:38
John 7:38 - NAS - with Study Resources - Study Desk
A river touches places of which its source knows nothing, and Jesus
says if we have received of His fulness, however small the visible
measure of our lives, out of us will flow the rivers that will bless
to the uttermost parts of the earth. We have nothing to do with the
outflow - "This is the work of God that ye believe. . . ." God rarely
allows a soul to see how great a blessing he is.
A river is victoriously persistent, it overcomes all barriers. For a
while it goes steadily on its course, then it comes to an obstacle
and for a while it is baulked, but it soon makes a pathway round the
obstacle. Or a river will drop out of sight for miles, and presently
emerge again broader and grander than ever. You can see God using
some lives, but into your life an obstacle has come and you do not
seem to be of any use. Keep paying attention to the Source, and God
will either take you round the obstacle or remove it. The river of
the Spirit of God overcomes all obstacles. Never get your eyes on the
obstacle or on the difficulty. The obstacle is a matter of
indifference to the river which will flow steadily through you if you
remember to keep right at the Source. Never allow anything to come
between yourself and Jesus Christ, no emotion, or experience; nothing
must keep you from the one great sovereign Source.
Think of the healing and far-flung rivers nursing themselves in our
souls! God has been opening up marvellous truths to our minds, and
every point He has opened up is an indication of the wider power of
the river He will flow through us. If you believe in Jesus, you will
find that God has nourished in you mighty torrents of blessing for
others.
:l good one!
