Oh Taste and See That The Lord Is Good!

When the Spirit of God is alive within you, something shifts. You can’t hold back the praise that bubbles up from deep within your soul. There’s a fire that compels you to speak of His goodness, not out of obligation, but out of overflow. Like the woman at the well in John 4:10, once you’ve tasted the Living Water, silence is no longer an option.

“Jesus answered her, ‘If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.’” – John 4:10

That one encounter changed everything for the Samaritan woman. Once weighed down by shame and isolation, she became a bold witness, running to her village with joy, declaring, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” (John 4:29).

When His River flows through us, it’s not just for refreshment, it’s for movement. It causes our mouths to open, our feet to go, and our hearts to burn with holy urgency. Whether we are with family, walking through pain, serving the broken, or simply going about our day, we are carriers of that water. And the world is thirsty.

Let this Living Water rise up in you daily. Let it flood your spirit until you cannot help but glorify His name. Because once you’ve truly encountered Jesus, there’s no going back, and no staying quiet.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, You are the Living Water, my source, my strength, and my song. Thank You for the gift of Your Spirit that flows like a river through every dry and weary place in me. I don’t want a sip, I want to be saturated.

Consume me, Lord. Let Your presence so fill me that I can’t help but speak of Your goodness. Give me the heart of that Samaritan woman who, once she recognized You, could no longer keep silent. Let every step I take and every word I speak testify of who You are.

I need Your River, daily. Not for show, not for routine, but because without You, I have no life. Flow through me into the lives of my family, friends, and those desperately needing a touch from Heaven. Make me a vessel. Use me in the ordinary and the unexpected. May Your name be glorified through me wherever I go.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
