Water Is A Blessing

Water is a symbol of God's power and presence in the Bible, and is mentioned over 500 times. It can represent cleansing, salvation, and provision.

Today I started to think more deeply about water. What is it? Where does it come from? What do we use it for? How do we use it? Do we use it wisely? How can we collect and store it better? How do we ensure those in areas with less water get clean drinking water or water for crops and other needs like fire fighting. I pray 🙏 to you Lord.
