COOL & REFRESHING
Today's reading: Isaiah 12-15

"With joy you will drink deeply from the fountain of salvation." Isaiah 12:3 NLT

"Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation." Isaiah 12:3 NKJV

Do I have the joy of my salvation?

From what I see, it's something I'm called on to do--and to have a part in getting.

A well requires work. A 'drawing' summons some elbow grease. A long drink takes a little time out of my scheduled day.

But when I think of what His salvation has saved me from--joy wells up!

When I pause long enough to ponder what my salvation will reward me with--joy springs forth!

When I stop to meditate on the scope of my salvation, the heighths, the depths, the fathoms to which His blood forgives and cleanses--joy splashes all about me!

Salvation is not just to be sprinkled upon us in one prayerful act. It's joy waiting to be showered down, sprayed on, jumped through, poured out on others, felt through our porest and soaked into our very beings.
