SCRIPTURE: Revelation (NIV) 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
OBSERVATION: Only five verses from the end of the Bible and God makes a clear invitation to all who read or hear the scriptures.
In case a reader has missed the many invitations to participate in God’s great plan and enjoy the presence of Almighty God living in their life, God puts one more invitation here in the final verses of the Bible.
The “water of life” is a very costly gift, but to us it is offered free. Jesus paid the cost by dying for our sins on the cross.
APPLICATION: It is an invitation to whoever is thirsty. …to those who feel that life has not satisfied them. …to those looking for a life with purpose and reason.
The “water of life” is offered, but we must “take” it. We acknowledge that we have sinned and receive His forgiveness. We take it by simply believing it and saying, “Thank you!” So simple, yet so life changing!
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, as you are stirring in my heart as I write this SOAP, stir in the heart of each reader. May each reader have the joy of starting a new year assured that you are with them, sharing their portion of life, and at the same time sharing your life with them. May each reader rejoice in your presence. You are with us! Amen
