Today, we will start on a journey that will encourage us to dig in deep and develop our friendship with and dependence on Jesus. Our prayer is that over the next few days, you will come to find a source of life that can sustain you through life's challenges, a source found only in Jesus.

Summary

Priscilla started our journey off with the story of two different ponds. One is able to maintain its proper depth despite a lack of rain, and the other dries out almost completely in a season of drought. Two ponds, two outcomes. Why? Their source.

In today's world, the parallels are unmatched.

There is something really special about being out in the country, or near the mountains, or on a beach. It gets you out of the ordinary, and creation gives you enough to do that you will never get bored. We can learn a lot from the terrain and how the land works.

When a pond has a spring to replenish its water from deep underground, it is able to sustain through seasons of drought because the source of its life isn't dependent on external forces. Compare this to a man-made pond, and you see where we're heading with this example.

What's Next?

  1. When you think about your own life, what type of pond would you compare your life to?

  2. As you face times and areas of drought, of challenge or trial, do you find yourself rundown or feeling empty? Or is your pond still maintaining and able to serve a joyful and helpful life?
