WATERED
Today's reading: Ezekiel 46-48

"Then the man brought me back to the entrance of the Temple. There I saw a stream flowing eastward from beneath the Temple threshold..." Ezekiel 47:1 NLT

"...For they are watered by the river flowing from the Temple..." Ezekiel 47:12 NLT

Watered- to have been moistened, sprinkled or soaked with water; to have been supplied with water.

I don't know where you attend church on the Lord's Day.

It doesn't matter to me the denomination.

Or the type of music played.

Or the Bible translation usually used.

Or if your pastor speaks wearing a three-piece suit or jeans and button-down.

What I need to you make sure of is that at every service the Spirit of God waters you and flows forth from the doors of your church!

That God's Word is preached--in all it's power and might!

That God's Word is believed--to be true, alive and life-changing!

That God's Word is being followed--by everyone from the preacher to the janitor to the pew-sitters!

That God's Word is being allowed to work--in all aspects of the church and its ministries!

That God's Word is being protected--from the outside influences of the world and by the well-meaning churchfolks who would like to water it down to make it more palatable to the public!

That God's Word is being poured out so greatly on you that Monday is different, your family is changed, your workplace is affected, your neighborhood is better, your bad habits are dropping like flies and your witness is shiny and glowing!

So, check your church. Make sure it's watering you. Make sure you are attending often enough to 'get wet' with the Word of the Lord.

Is there a river of life flowing from the threshold of your place of worship?
