Come!

 Scripture:

“The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let anyone who hears this say, “Come.” Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭17‬ ‭NLT‬

Observation:

After an incredible description of the New Jerusalem, we hear an invitation coming from the Spirit and the bride. They are saying “come” to anyone who is thirsty to drink from the water of life. They are extending an invitation to everyone who will listen to “come.” It is God’s desire for people to come to Him, the fountain of living water.

Application:

God provides the water of life freely for us, but we have to “come” to Him. God doesn’t push us, He invites us. He invites us to an incredible life that He has planned for us and then tells us to come. I also see in this passage that it is the Spirit and the bride that are saying “come.” The bride is the Church and the Spirit is the Spirit. The Church and the Spirit are meant to work together to invite people to the river of life. We must invite, but the Spirit will convict and work through us. I want to be a voice for God telling people to “come” to Him.

Prayer:

Father, You are incredible and I love You. Let me be an instrument in Your hands, calling the world to come to You. Let Your invitation to the water of life come through my voice as much as You desire. Help me to be sensitive to Your Spirit and to make the invitation as often as You want me to. Let me and my church get better at inviting people to the water of life.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
