Verse
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let those who hear say, “Come!” Let those who are thirsty come; and let all who wish take the free gift of the water of life.
Thought
In the moving conclusion to the book of Revelation, we are reminded that the Holy Spirit lends His voice to the voices of Jesus' bride (the church). Together, they cry out, "Come!" They are calling for Jesus to return with triumph and power. The thirsty will have their thirst slaked. Those longing to have mortal life swept up into what is everlasting life also cry out for the Lord to return. What we have experienced as a blessing of the Holy Spirit in our walk here on earth will be now realized in an ultimate way — we will be able to drink deeply of the water of life.
Prayer
Abba Father, thank you for the gift of your Holy Spirit who has been a source of refreshment and blessing as your water of life within me. As I look forward to the return of Jesus, I know this blessing will be mine in a fuller and more comprehensive way. I anticipate this glory and grace and thank you for the foretaste you have given me through the Holy Spirit. I thank you in Jesus' name. Amen.
