A River Runs Through It Sample

Annually, the people of God would gather for the Feast of Tabernacles to remember their history, God’s presence even when they doubted, and to recall His provision. At these feasts, priests would pour out pitchers of water onto the altar, declaring “with joy we draw from the wells of salvation”. Every day, for seven days, they would pour out the water and declare His presence and provision. Likewise, we need to intentionally declare that God can provide what we need. God can provide hope and joy continually. It is critical that we gather with other believers to not only have a personal sense of belonging, but together celebrate God’s presence and provision, drawing from the wells of salvation. We are connected to the beautiful people who journeyed with God. We must increase the times in which we celebrate our redeeming, providing God.
