Ask Largely of God

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. John 7:38
Scripture reading:
John 7:37–8:12

We need the warming atmosphere of the Spirit’s power to bring us closer and closer until nothing but God can satisfy. Then we may have some idea of what God has left after we have taken all that we can. It is like a sparrow taking a drink of the ocean and then looking around and saying, “What a vast ocean! I could have taken a lot more if only I had room.”
Sometimes you have things you can use, and you don’t know it. You could be dying of thirst right in a river of plenty.
The Word is not alive until it is moved upon by the Spirit of God, and in the right sense, it becomes Spirit and Life when it is touched by His hand alone. There is a stream of life that makes everything move. There is a touch of divine life and likeness through the Word of God that comes from nowhere else. We think of death as the absence of life, but there is a death-likeness in Christ, who is full of life. Amen

-The tide is rolling in. Let us see to ittoday that we get right into the tide, for it will hold us. God’s heart of love is the center of all things.
