Relief
Do you have an area where you have been struggling, lonely, exhausted?
Isaiah 12:3
“With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.”
This description here is visceral - abundant, cool water. Have you ever had a moment of drinking water that is just overwhelmingly good? Or that moment when the coffee just hits? I am appreciative that this is not just a spiritual analogy, but that there is an actual, physical moment of sweet goodness.
How do you relate to this metaphor today? Do you have an area where you have been struggling, lonely, exhausted? Where do you need relief like a refreshing drink of water? How does recognizing your need change your relationship to it? How might you stay attentive to moments of opportunity and people in your day that might be there to show you God’s love, rest, kindness, peace? Can you reach out to someone and ask them how they might need relief this week?
