“Then she said, “Give me a blessing; since you have given me the land of the Negev, give me also springs of water.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.”

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭15‬:‭19‬

Dear Lord God, how blessed we are that You have given us the Good land in Christ. You conquered the enemy for us and we are receiving the portion of the Betrothed. But much more, You delight to give us the springs, but You want our asking and our coming to You. So Lord, we come and we are asking. Please give us the springs to water this good land. Thank You that it pleased You to give us both the upper and the lower springs. Lord God, is this a picture of the Holy Spirit, both the indwelling and the Spirit poured upon us. It pleased You to abound to us in grace. Lord Jesus, You told the Samaritan woman at the well that if only she realized who You are, she would have asked You for living water and You would have given her living water. And You gave and she was satisfied and empowered to gush forth living water in telling the people in town all about You. So Lord God, we want to have a fruitful land and we need the Spirit to teach us all things and to empower us to do all Your will. We confess that we cannot bear fruit otherwise for it is because of the Holy Spirit we can fulfill all Your will. So, we ask You for a drink for the good land You’ve given us. Thank You for living water. In Jesus’ gracious name.
