Joyous Response to Living Water

700am, Goolwa SA, after a November Thunderstorm 2024

I walked past the park; lots of lovely flowering shrubs of various colours all grateful for the rain.

While the water is giving the roots their essential nourishment, the foliage and flowers are bowed low with the weight of the water.

The whole plant rejoices.

This is how God’s people appear after He has poured out His presence on them for a season.

In their rejoicing they feel the refreshment drawing up from the reservoir of out-poured Living Water, but the weight of His Presence causes their hearts to be bowed low in grateful, reverential, yieldedness.

Solemn joy.

Oh for a Thunderstorm!

I’m a happily married, father of eight, who was confident that I “knew it all” until Jesus broke into my life in 1983 and showed to me, my great need for His sovereignty to prevail.

About Me

I’m a ‘sort-of’ retired person who is a follower of Jesus. I don’t like brands and titles because they have varied meanings to different observers. I like to talk about the Good News of Jesus, and the Bible’s story of redemption.
