Blessings Instead of Disappointments

  There are doors in our lives that we alone can't open. No matter how much we try, that door won't budge. We tend to get disappointed when things don't turn out our way.      But maybe its a blessing in disguise Maybe there's something on the other side of that door that God is protecting us from. I believe if we view the "disappointments" in our lives as God's blessing Our lives wouldn't be so depressing as we would make it out to be. 

Jeremiah 17:13

 



Jeremiah 17:13 says:
"O Lord, the hope of Israel
all who forsake you shall be put to shame;
those who turn away from you shall be written in the earth,
for they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living water."


Jeremiah 17:13 underscores the profound imagery of forsaking the Lord as forsaking the fountain of living water, a concept that gains clarity when connected with the biblical narrative. We find a direct correlation by examining John 4:10, where Jesus identifies himself as the living water during a conversation with a Samaritan woman at a well. Jesus offers the living water, positioning himself as the source of spiritual sustenance. The intriguing parallel emerges when we revisit Jeremiah 17:13, which designates the Lord as the fountain of living water. Delving into the definition of "fountain" from Webster's Dictionary—described as the source from which something proceeds or is supplied—reveals a compelling interpretation. If the living water (Jesus) proceeds from the fountain (God), the inference is that God and Jesus are intricately intertwined, substantiating the notion of their oneness.
