Zechariah 13:1 On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness.
Monday morning's run started late, at about 10. The mercury had already hit 89 and the humidity form the gulf was kicking pretty good. By mile three, I was really starting to feel the effects of the heat, as my body was sweating out a lot of water. After a not so fast fourth mile, I made it back to the condo complex and made a bee line for the water fountain. The one inside that was cool. Cool, crisp water on a partially dehydrated tongue is semi-majestic. Most of you know what I am talking about.
Zechariah, in looking forward to the reign of Christ, speaks of a fountain that cleanses from all sin and unrighteousness. What a picture of Christ washing over His bride, with pure clear waters. The bible speaks of living water continuously as a life source from the throne of God made available to us by the grace of God, through Christ.
Big question? Right now do you view communion with Christ as you would a cold water fountain after a four mile run in heat index over 100? Is the word of God your daily diet?
If not, there is a large chance that you do not recognize your need for hydrating yourself with living water, because you are drinking water from another well.
Heartwashed:
A condition that occurs when one of God's created beings is restored to its original design of reflecting the glory of God. God accomplishes this by removing a heart of stone and replacing it with a heart of flesh. He then cleanses that heart of flesh with living pure waters of His Holiness. The process is completed when God plants the Love of Christ in His beings so that they then desire to live to carry out the will of God instead of rebelling against it. (Ezekiel 36)
