HAIKU - Pipe Line to the Heart

 

Heavy rain.  Earth slid.

Whoosh!  Slam!  Pipes hit.  Water burst.

Gushing wildly forth.

Turn on the faucet.

"No water!"  Residents shout.

One week or more.  Thirst.

Collect rain water.

Barrels and barrels.  Dip out.

Slosh!  Over dishes.

Slosh!  Over body,

and teeth and down the toilet. 

 No more rain!  Ration.

Still no water.  What

to do?  It's like God's Word, none,

and we thirst for Him.

Then with refreshing

daily, word of God, we re-

-vive, bringing new life.

Read. Meditate, day

by day.  Thirst for Christ in your

life.  Pipeline to heart.

Lord, the washing of the water of Your word is a lifeline to my heart.  As I read and meditate upon Your Word, make it a pipeline to my heart too.  The water of Your Word refreshes, revives and sanctifies.  Without it we thirst.  May I conscious not to ration it.  I ask in Your name.  Amen.
