Are Rivers Flowing From You?

John 7:38 He who believes in Me... out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.

In this passage of scripture, Jesus states those who believe in him will have rivers of living water flowing from them. This living water isn't just for me to benefit. It is primarily for others to benefit.

A powerful fact about a river, is that it is persistent and overcomes all barriers. As Oswald Chambers writes " For a while it goes steadily on its course, but then comes to an obstacle. And for a while it is blocked, yet it soon makes a pathway around the obstacle. Or a river will drop out of sight for miles, only later to emerge again even broader and greater than ever.

The rivers of living water following out of a person overcomes all obstacles or even removes them. The key is to not focus on the obstacle or challenge, but to stay focused on the Source. The obstacle will be a matter of total indifference to the river that will flow steadily through you if you will simply remember to stay focused on the Source.
