Devotion shared at the Young Adult BBQ:
20 Young Adults came to the BBQ
Israel has only one river; the Jordan, it runs 251 km
It's not very wide but before it was dammed in it was very fast flowing
It has fresh living water in it
Living Water is water that comes directly from God
Israel has only 2 sizable lakes
One is the Lake of Galilee
the other is the Dead Sea or Salt Sea
Both are fed by the Jordan river with fresh living water
in the Sea of Galilee there are lots of fish
we saw them jump, the sea has lots of life in it
The Salt Sea is dead, nothing lives in it
The Rabbis have noted a big difference between the two seas
The Sea of Galilee takes water in and let water out
The Salt Sea only takes water in
The Rabbis made a comparison to people
Some people get fed by God with Living Water (His word)
and share it with others
you know that their faith is alive
Others do go to synagogue (church) but don't do much with what God has given them
they don't share and their faith struggles.
At this point I shared water from both seas to taste
ask those who were there
The water from the Salt Sea tasted horrible
Fishing in the Sea of Galilee
No fish in the Salt Sea
(but lots of fun)
