Connected to the Source
JOHN 4:14
Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.
When I was growing up in Baltimore, the way we “swam” on Saturday was to run through the water from the fire hydrant. The fire marshal would come and open the fire hydrant enough for it to spray water for us. The fire hydrant would shoot out water; we’d put on our shorts and have the time of our lives. As a young boy, I didn’t understand how all that water could come out of that little pipe for days. Water just kept gushing out of there.
When I asked my dad about it, he explained that the pipe in the hydrant had no water. The water all came from underneath the ground. The pipe from the hydrant connected with another pipe that led to a reservoir, and the reservoir had plenty of water. My dad explained to me that as long as there was an underground connection, plenty of water would come out of the pipe. If nothing was coming out of the pipe, we didn’t need to fix the pipe—we needed an underground connection. In the same way, we all need something underneath that connects us with the source so that water can flow from our lives.
Many people struggle today to locate their destiny. They spend so much time looking for the plan, the purpose, and the calling, they forget where all of that originates. It originates in God Himself. If you can’t find your destiny, don’t go searching for it—go searching for God. Deepen your relationship with Him, spend time with Him… He’s the connection you need because He’s the One who already knows what you want to know. He knows your destiny, and as you connect with Him as your Source for all things, you will also tap into the full force of your purpose.
Lord God, You are the source of all that I need. With Your wisdom and guidance, I can fulfill the reason I was put here on earth. But to experience that, I need to draw closer in my connection to You. I ask that You will bless me as I seek to do just that.
