As you read this definition of a natural spring, let God minister to you about the living water- His Word in you springing up and flood waters-recharging your soul and your health .Psalm 107:35 and Malachi 3:10
Springs occur when water pressure causes a natural flow of ground water onto earths surface. As rainwater enters or recharges the aquifer, pressure is placed on the water already present. This pressure moves through the cracks and tunnels within the aquifer, and this water flows out naturally to the surface places called springs. When rivers flood, the pressure created by the rising floodwaters causes many springs within to reverse flow and bring river water into the aquifer. This reverse flow is an important part of groundwater recharge and the health of the springs.
WATER-God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, the Word
PRESSURE- cares of this world
NATURAL FLOW- easy His burden is light
EARTH'S SURFACE- world
AQUIFER- a body (the church) of permeable rock( the believer/ us) which can contain or transmit ground water.
CRACKS AND TUNNELS- past experiences, trials of life
SPRINGS- meeting places or gathering (church)
RIVERS FLOOD- the windows of heaven open up
REVERSE FLOW- hearing the Word building our faith
RECHARGE- confessing our faith
HEALTH OF THE SPRINGS- healing to our mind, will and emotions. Our whole being. Shalom.
I love this! Think about this natural flow from God to us and us to others. Amazing!
