In this part of the world the only way to keep most plants alive is with drip irrigation. If you look closely at the above photo you can see a little black hose with a tip on it. Look closely and you can see the soil closest to the shrub is darker, i.e. wetter, than the other soil. Being from the Midwest where things grow lush and full, (especially this past year when we broke records with the annual rainfall averages so far above average) the concept of things only growing with a constant water source that is not mainly from the sky gives me pause.
In Jeremiah 2:13 the Lord chastises the people for forsaking Him, the a fountain of living water, and building cisterns for themselves that crack and cannot hold water.
When I look beyond the lots here that have a drip irrigation, the photo above is the view.
That being said, the blue water faucet is a lovely sight!
Where do you get watered for the chores of life? Do have a steady source of refreshment from the Lord, or are you just hoping for rain?
Return to His word and some quiet time for refreshment. At least stop here and take one deep breath turning your attention to Him in that moment!
