Day 15-Springs of benignity

John 4:14 ...indeed the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.

Today's devotional is much the same as yesterday's...reminding up to "keep at the source" of the river that the Holy Spirit puts in us. It is not our job to make the river flow or make it move through us and touch others. It is our job to keep our relationship with the Lord on track.

He will make the river flow through us. He will do the touching.

Chambers:

If you find your life is not flowing out as it should, you are to blame; something has obstructed the flow. Keep at the source and-you will be blessed personally? No, out of your will flow rivers of living water, irrepressible life.

We don't measure our relationship with the Lord by our wealth, health, etc.

Keep at the Source, guard well your belief in Jesus Christ and your relationship to Him, and there will be a steady flow for other lives, no dryness and no deadness.

(On a side note: Chambers is also increasing my vocabulary skills.)
From dictionary.com:
Benignity (noun)
1. the quality of being benign; kindness
2. a good deed or favor; an instance of kindness
