Pour Yourself Out - Isaiah 58:10-11

Isaiah 58:10-11 ESV 

if you pour yourself out for the hungry

and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,

then shall your light rise in the darkness

and your gloom be as the noonday.

And the Lord will guide you continually

and satisfy your desire in scorched places

and make your bones strong;

and you shall be like a watered garden,

like a spring of water,

whose waters do not fail.

When we pour ourselves out for others we are really swimming in the living water flowing from the throne of heaven to the parched earth around us. We are living well watered, and that to overflowing from a source that will never fail. 

It is Christ, the Holy Spirit, falling as rain on His seed growing into the full harvest that is maturing and made ready for His return. We are the seed which is sown and that has put down roots beside the still water of His peace and truth. 

We have become the well watered garden of the Lord that replaces and restores the Garden of Eden. The Lord has taken us from the dust of the world and placed us in the Garden of His presence.
