​Reflection:

​

For centuries people diligently sought a fountain of youth, a spring that offered eternal life and vitality.

Still today people look for lotions, powders and potions that promise youthfulness, optimum health and anti-aging. And yet the Bible offers something more substantial and lasting.

God’s wisdom is a fountain of life that can make a person happy, healthy, and alive while he lives.

​

When we live by God’s Word, he washes away the deadly effects of sin.

Titus 3:5-7 says

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life."

​

The hope of eternal life with Him gives us a joyful perspective on our present life. This fountain of life not only keeps and preserves us from all evil in this life but offers the promise of wholeness and health into eternity.

​

The fountain of youth is a fallacy, but the fountain of life is a reality, that is attainable for all who desire to put their trust in Jesus Christ.

This fountain of life is a vivid image that gives us the impression of fresh, cool, life-giving water for all who are spiritually thirsty. Jesus Himself is this fountain of life who can quench our thirst forever and offer us eternal life.

John 4:14 says

"But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."

​

​

Prayer: 

‘LORD, I come to You because I am weary and worn out. I am thirsty for a life with You. Forgive me for looking elsewhere for the rest, refreshment and joy that You alone offer. Bless me with wisdom and the joy of hope and life that can only be found in You through Your divine Word. I pray to You, in JESUS’ Mighty Name, AMEN!

"Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly."

Proverbs 16:22 (KJV)

FOUNTAIN OF LIFE
