1. Thanks for joining me today for “A Little Walk with God.” I’m your host Richard Agee.
2. Water is one of those things none of us can do without. It is one of those basic needs that without it, we die. Food, water, shelter. Those things mean life. Without them we cannot survive. And water is first on the list. A week without water and the body shuts down. Jesus understood the necessity of water, too, but He had a different solution to our needs.
3. Scripture
   1. John 7:37-38
   2. Jesus: If any of you is thirsty, come to Me and drink.  If you believe in Me, the Hebrew Scriptures say that rivers of living water will flow from within you.
4. Devotional
   1. When the rest of the country was suffering an economic downturn a few years ago, Texas was still creating jobs. In fact, when the nation created 300,000 jobs overall one year, Texas created 400,000 within its borders. That means the rest of the country lost 100,000 jobs.
      1. What attracts people to Texas?
      2. Weather
      3. Taxes
      4. Corporate laws
   2. Texas has one big problem when it comes to business
      1. Water
      2. Cities are growing faster than the water supply
      3. Buying water from other states
      4. Research for desalinization and other means of purification of seawater aren’t keeping up with the demand
   3. Middle east has similar problems
      1. Water seems more scarce than oil
      2. Dig deep for wells
      3. Often require purification even when found
      4. Protect at all costs
   4. Jesus promises water than never ends
      1. Living water – running water from springs that remain clean and pure
      2. Never dries up regardless of weather
      3. Quenches thirst unlike some of the water with minerals (salts) in them
      4. Not just a little trickle of water, but rivers of living water
      5. No pockets of brackish water either
   5. Where do you find this kind of water?
      1. Come to Jesus
      2. Believe in Him
      3. For who He is and what He did for you
      4. Ask for forgiveness
      5. Follow the commands He gives you
