Spiritual Water

Genesis 2:6 "... but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground."

Why is that water would be used so much in scripture? Why is it that our bodies can be OK without food for an extended period of time but can only last 3 days without water? When Moses struck the rock why did water come forth?

John 7:38 "Whoever believes in me, as the scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from them."

I find that the simplicity of water, its ability to bring life and nourishment, intrigues me today. Its only a simple compound of one hydrogen and two oxygens. Even in this is abilities are enormous. Its simplicity nourishes the depths of the body and bring life. In Christ we find the simplicity of His heart that speaks to the depth of our souls. It runs into every part of our beings and is the only basis or foundation for our lives.

I find myself thinking about what it is that I am searching for from God? Why am I searching for that? Why is it that I would only search for God in the deep places when He desires to draw me in His simplicity? Is it because I feel that the deeper I am - the greater I am? What is the attitude of my heart? It always comes down to the attitude of my heart? I am asking myself these questions today as I search for the deep things of God in my life. I don't want to miss Him in His depths but I definitely don't want to miss Him in His simplicity. I need living water to flow from my life and that only comes for Christ.
