Drink Adequate Water

“Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:14)
Scripture Focus: John 4:1-14

How much water should the average person drink in a day? According to a nutritional newsletter, you can estimate the amount by dividing your body weight in half. Calculate one ounce of water for each pound. If you weigh 120 pounds, you need 60 ounces of water a day. When you travel on an airplane, a good rule of thumb is to drink eight ounces of water for every hour in flight. These figures may change, depending on how much you exercise and what kind of food you eat.

Drinking bottled water has become commonplace, perhaps even a fad. But isn’t it overpriced? Often, it is simply purified tap water. I heard that one brand of bottled water fetches $55!

On one of His travels, Jesus offered a spiritually bereft woman water that would quench her thirst forever and well up into eternal life. He was referring to salvation, which He alone can give. He still offers living water to life’s weary travelers. It’s available without cost today, as it was 2000 years ago. Don’t travel through life without it!

Insight: Nothing can quench a person’s thirst for eternal life except the water of life Jesus gives freely to all who believe on Him.
