Let Israel be glad in its Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
Ezekiel 47:9
" ...Wherever the river goes, every living creature that swarms will live, and there will be very many fish, once these waters reach there. It will become fresh; and everything will live where the river goes. ... " [ The Lord GOD, speaking of the water that flows from the Temple]
1 John 3:18
Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.
Matthew 10:42
" ...and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple-truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward." [ Jesus to the twelve as he sent them out]
III. Meditation: Where the river goes
We are glad in our Maker;
together we rejoice in our King.
Wherever the river of your love goes,
there will be life, and life in abundance;
and everything will live where love flows.
From the profusion of your love, we must love,
not just in word or speech, but in truth and action;
we will give a cup of cold water, rejoicing in our King.
