Fresh and Precious Overflow

Perhaps we forget just how precious fresh and running water is! The lack of it globally slipped past us as we've grown so accustomed to what naturally happens when we turn on the facet. Hear David, "Sing praises to the LORD, Who dwells in Zion; declare among the peoples His deeds." (Psalm 9:11-12 NASB). Throughout the Old Testament, we read God is enthroned in and above the heavens. He also [symbolically] dwells locally in His tabernacle: "The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD'S throne is in heaven" (Psalm 11:4a NASB). We know, of course, God is omnipresent - He is confined nor limited by time or space; He is in all and above all. What a wonder to declare that now the Redeemed are now God's temple, and that God's Spirit dwell in each of us (1 Corinthians 3:16). How is it then that our spirits lack the precious fresh Living Water of Christ, resembling instead a cistern of stale and stagnant water? Jesus made it clear that whoever believes, in him or her is a heart flowing "rivers of living water" (John 7:38 ESV). The life of a genuine Child of God will overflow with praises to The LORD and will declare His wondrous deeds. We are His tabernacle, His temple bearing daily sacrifices of joy, delight and exuberant praise. Christ alive in us ... a fresh and precious overflow!
