“For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see. “ (Psalm 36:9 NLT)
The Mississippi River flows south from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. It borders or passes through ten states. This mighty waterway is historically and economically significant. Many major cities and industries are built around this river. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to visit the headwaters of this river in Lake Itasca, Minnesota. It is a tranquil park with very few tourists. As I enjoyed hiking through the area, I wondered: Of the millions of people who live near the Mississippi, how many know where the source is located? How many would even care?
“For in Him we live and move and have our being.” (Acts 17:28 NIV)
God is the source and sustainer of everything. Our daily existence depends on Him. Of the billions of humans on this planet, how many think about the Source of life? How many would even care?
Lord, You are the fountain of life, the light by which we see. In Your presence we live and move and have our being. Let us be constantly aware of You as the source and sustainer of everything. Our life, our sustenance, our health, our identity, our joy--all come from You. Teach us to acknowledge You and care about You.
