How Do You Get Refreshed?

It used to be that a maiden would hestitantly go to her father's well and draw up water for a trail dusty rider, so his parched mouth would heal with the drops of water. The family would attend church and a community gathering afterwards.

Today, we may spend money to go to a spa for a day, or even an hour, for special treatment. We go out for coffee. A shopping spree.

God's Word says to come to Jesus. Read the Word. You'll be refreshed with the Living Water.

As simple as this sounds, it isn't always easy. But, we need to come back to these truths. It's the only way we can put value on our lives, and enrich them completely.

Another way to be refreshed is found in Proverbs 11:25.

A generous man will prosper; he who refreshed others will himself be refreshed.

Perhaps the generousity is to soley mean in monetary value, but perhaps, this proverb shows us that our generosity should be in many different ways. Love. Forgiveness. Laughter. Our spiritual gifts. Time. Friendship. Ministry.

The list could be endless. What describes YOUR generous spirit today? The Bible guarantees that your generosity will be returned with refreshment. Give others your treasures. For they will be more than gifts to them, they will be gifts for you eternally, after you give them away.

Matthew 6: 19-21
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where theives do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
