TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE
For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: Isaiah 44:3
Memorize this Verse: (Cover the verse text and using just the first letters of each word try to recite the entire passage.)
3. F I W P W U H T I T A F U T D G I W P M S U T S A M B U T O
Notes on verse:
“Water … floods”: The extensive blessing of physical conditions will favor the nation in the coming kingdom age (43:19-20); they were also symbolic of spiritual refreshment from the Holy Spirit and God Himself (32:15; Joel 2:28-29).
The “water”, and the “floods”, in the verse above, are two entirely different things. Water, many times, is speaking of the Word of God. Look, with me, in the following verses at just that.
Matthew 5:6 “Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”
John 4:13-14 “Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:” “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
The water can symbolize the Word or the Spirit, and really, they are one and the same. Notice (in verse 3 above), that only those who are thirsty receive this water. This is like salvation. It comes to just those who will accept it. This whole Scripture has to be speaking of the appearing of Jesus Christ to the seed of Abraham. The believers are His offspring.
Galatians 3:29 “And if ye [be] Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
