Oh Lord Jesus, sanctify us all as we enter into this weeks enjoyment of The River of Water of Life. Gen. 2:10 And a river went forth from Eden to water the garden, and from there it divided and became four branches. Psa. 46:4 There is a river whose streams gladden the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High... We need to see that the Triune God is flowing through the Father, the Son, and the Spirit into us. When we drink of this water, it becomes a fountain in us. We all should say, “The fountain is in me!” This fountain emerges as a spring, and the spring flows out as a river....This is the divine speaking, divine spreading, divine dispensing, of the Divine Trinity. The Father as the fountain, the Son as the spring, and the Spirit as the river flow into us. The tree of life and the flowing river indicate this: whenever we take Jesus into us as food, that food will impart divine life, a life that is a watering and flowing life. In Revelation 22:1-2 we see that the river of life with the tree of life growing in it proceeds out of the throne of God. This picture is a further proof that the tree of life and the river of life represent the genuine experience of life. Whenever we take God in Christ as our life, we will have this river flowing within us to water us and work many things within us. This river was made to water the garden that the garden might grow things of life. Surely it also quenched man’s thirst that he might survive. All this means that this river caused life to flow. In our physical life we must drink enough water to maintain the circulation of our blood. The flow of our physical life depends on water. Likewise, day by day we must take the water of life to maintain the flow of the divine life within us. This gives us the spiritual circulation of the divine life. The river flows out of Eden, meaning that it flows out of God. In Revelation 22, the river of the water of life proceeds out of the throne of God. It is also a flow out of God Himself. God as the very life is the source of the living water, flowing into us for our enjoyment. This river is one river. Do you have two rivers? Although the believers here may number a thousand, we still have one river because we all are of the same source—God the Creator. Since the source is one, the course also must be one.
