Bible Note: Jesus said that those who believe in Him out of His belly shall flow streams of living water (John 7:38). see also John 4:14 CHM was speaking metephoricly about us finding our all in all in God. as Jeremiah said God is the fountain of living water, all other is streams from broken cisterns.(Jer 2:13). Rising up early in the moning to do God's will even if it is as in Abraham's case to sacrifice your son is ready obedience -- looking at God and His promise rather than my own objections my 'creature stream' if you will THAT is living sacrifice. |
