Main Text: Job 14:2-7
Isaiah 1:18-19 ‘ Come let us reason together, says the LORD. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land.
The KJV Bible
As men grow older, we grow more closely to the day we take our last breath and farther from our birth. Unlike trees that gets second, third, and even multiple chances to rejuvenate after being cut down, it is not so for humans. Usually only GOD sustains a man and dead men come back to life on the account of the mercies and miracles of GOD.
A sinner doesn’t get his chance of rebirth, nor grows back strong and flourishing if he refuses repentance. This is because he or she becomes more terrible than a dry scourged tree. He is nowhere near the living spring or river. Hence, his root does fail him. JESUS is the living water; the ever-flowing spring of life. We need Him and He is ever willing to keep us blooming and fruitful.
As written in the book of Psalms 1:1, which speaks and likens men who trust and abide in JESUS to be as trees planted by the river side. Men who abide by JESUS are blessed and secured even in the toughest drought and frosty chills. Our LORD is our Hope, our Help and our Sustenance. He is the well that never runs dry; the River of living waters, LORD All-Sufficient, and LORD Most High. We know you and I am loved by Him.
Don’t die a thirsty sinner! Don’t die a lone-grieving soul! Let the LORD quench your thirst with sweet water for He did turn the water of Mara (bitter water) sweet.
Tomorrow might be too late! Repent today, be revived too. You might have been hurt but you need to let go! We are drawing closer than we are moving farther. Aren’t you tired of the thirst and weariness? Come to JESUS! He is running to you too with arms wide open. He makes even the darkest and scariest crimson white.
