Revelation 7:17 – For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Revelation 21:6 – And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

When it comes to things we need, there is a vast abundance of resources available to every person for just about anything you can think of. We are living in the information age! If you want to know something you do not have to go to too much effort to find the information about it. I have found that having this leisure does not fulfill everything. In fact, my curiosity for every question that comes across my mind does not necessarily have an answer.
When it comes to the things we wish we did not have, the reality is that they are present before us. Burdens will never go away or the thought of them. Worries will more than likely be prevalent in the future. The great thing about the things I do not want is that there is something that can help me shake them off. I am put in remembrance that I can always draw from the fountain of life! I can draw from the living water of the spirit of God. Jesus said drinking from this water would have you to never thirst. It was implying that it would be something that would always fulfill you while you were living on this earth.
Now we know that there are always going to be more trials, but you can always be refreshed in the spirit each day. Always remember to let your cup be filled by God and not be dry from neglect! God intends for our vessels to be full and abundant with His resources! Just remember: You can live longer off of water than you can food. You can live off of the spirit of God far longer than you ever can with any other substitute. I say you, but it applies to all of us! If we apply it we can grow leaps and bounds and see the storehouses of our hearts flourish!

Put Into Practice:
Take an empty glass that you can pour water in and sit it in front you. Now then, go ahead and make an attempt or two at having a drink of what would normally be your regular beverage. It seems silly that you would go through the motions without the substance, right? At some point we all reach this low point before God, where we are just going through the same routine of going to services and doing our part but serving God with little spirit within us.
Silly or not, just remember to keep yourself from ever getting in that position. Continually keep in prayer before God. Stay in good communication with God and with your pastors or teachers. Never forget to come to the realization of the worth of the resources that are often recognized but not utilized!
