John 7:37-38 (ESV)
37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus
stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow
rivers of living water.’”
An estimated 500,000 tons of water go over Niagara Falls
every minute. On March 29, 1948, the falls suddenly stopped. Those who lived
near enough heard the overwhelming silence, and immediately they thought it was
a sign – the end of the world had come! However, after thirty hours had passed
– the flow of water resumed.
What happened? Heavy winds had set the ice fields of Lake
Erie in motion and tons of ice had jammed the Niagara River entrance near
Buffalo. The ice blocked the flow of water until finally, there was a shift in
the blockage and the river began flowing again.
The river had stopped flowing because of ice.
If we really want the flow of God’s love, peace, joy, and
anointing in our lives – we cannot allow our hearts to become like ice. If we
do, His life-giving current will stop.
Let the Lord search your heart for those areas where the
ice has built up and needs to thaw out. He will show you where they are if you
ask. Our hearts should be burning for Him, so let the river flow.... once
again.
Dear Lord, search our heart today and show us where we
need to let You thaw out. Help our
hearts burn with Your love. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
