Good morning, Lord Jesus. Draw me up in the spirit into the communion of prayer. …
“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid, for the Lord God is my strength and my might; He has become my salvation. With joy you will draw waters from the wells of salvation. And you will say in that day: Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known His deeds among the nations; proclaim that His name is exalted!” (Isaiah 12:3-4).
When I come to You in the communion of prayer each morning, I draw water from Your well of salvation. When I’m thirsting and hungering, yearning for Your Holy Spirit to abide deeply within my human spirit, I draw water from Your wells of salvation. When I’m tired or weary, when I’m discouraged or troubled, when I’m lonely or afraid, and call on Your name, I draw water from Your wells of salvation. And when I praise You before the answers come, when I thank You for all You’ve done, when I proclaim You as the mighty and faithful One, I draw waters from Your wells of salvation.
Your wells are deep. And Your waters are pure. And they are open to me every moment of every day, as I stop and take the time to bow down and reach in with the bucket of my heart. Like a bucket thrust into the waters of a well, Your living waters come pouring into my heart as You draw You near to drink deeply of Your Word and Spirit of Life. I never need to thirst again. As You have said, “Those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life” (John 4:14).
Thank You for Your wells of salvation—not just available one day at one time in one prayer of the surrender of life to You as Savior and Lord. But Your wells of salvation are available to me every moment of every day, as You keep on saving me, keep on filling me, keep on gushing up and flowing out of me (John 7:38). Your wells never run dry. And in the fullness of Your salvation—every moment of every day—is the fullness of life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
