1. Jesus died, rose again, and was glorified. He became the Spirit, who is the source of our water supply. Today, by believing in Jesus, we receive within ourselves this source of living water, which is the Spirit. For this reason, the church survives, owns abundant water, and can quench the thirst of those who seek it (John 4:10, 13-14; 7:37-39).
2. Abraham planted tamarisk trees in Beersheba. The tamarisk tree is a tree that survives in dry, saline soils. Where other trees do not survive, the tamarisk thrives and even produces sweet dates, even under the strong sun. It is a symbol of resilience, strength, and prosperity in arid conditions. There, Abraham called upon the name of the Lord (Genesis 21:33; Isaiah 12:1-4).
3. How do we draw water from the wells of salvation? Calling on the Lord. We are no longer barren; we have water to bear fruit. Our “foliage” does not wither, and everything we do will be successful. We will bear fruit for the Lord: many spiritual children (Isaiah 12:1-4; Psalm 1:1-3; Jeremiah 17:7-8).
4. “In Revelation 22, we read that there is a river, the river of the water of life, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb, and on both sides of the river is the tree of life. Therefore, the tree of life was on God’s throne, and whoever ate of its fruit would be under God’s rule, subject to His authority” (Rev 22:1-2) (Daily Food, book 4, week 1, Sunday, p. 21).
