Living Water

A neighbour that was moving decided to give my son there angel fish. Over the years the tank grew and different varities of fish came and went but with it always a constant, the fish tank had to be cleaned and topped up with water. I imagined our fish swimming in just a fraction of water and felt very sorry for them. I also assume that they wouldn’t last long living like this.

The same for our lives, we can’t survive in just a shallow pool with stale water. We need constant filling up. As we often giving of ourselves as well. Where do we go to get this living water?

My help comes from the Lord, He created the very breath I breathe and knows my inner being. He knows my coming and my going. He loves me. He chose me. He is the bread of life, the Great I Am.

Botha’s Hill

The picture I got from Botha’s Hill came from the view. Beautiful hills in the distance with haze and how the colours varied but as you looked closer houses littered the hills and valleys. The sounds of people, dogs and roosters echoed in my ears.

People make things messy and noisy and that is reality but we can’t just focus on the negative and let it get us down. We’ve got to keep lifting our eyes up to the horizon to see the beauty, to see the King!

He gives us the peace, strength and wisdom we need for each new day.

Psalm 121 “I lift up my eyes to the mountains- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth…”
