Key Verse: 47:12
1. Trickling water grew into a deep river (1-5)
Ezekiel saw a trickle of water from the threshold of the temple flowing to the east. The man with him measured its depth as he waded through it, and it increased until Ezekiel could no longer cross it: a deep river. What seems small would increase to cover the earth. Jesus described the influence of the kingdom of God in this way.
2. Unfailing fruit every month (6-12)
What was the purpose of the water? It would flow through the desert wastes and convert the Dead Sea into a flourishing place of life, full of fish, with trees bearing fruit that would never fail every month. Jesus said that whoever believes in him would have rivers of living water flowing from within them, and by that he meant the Holy Spirit (Jn 7:38-39).
Prayer: Prayer: Father, thank you for providing abundant life through the Holy Spirit. Help me believe.
One Word: God is the source of abundant life
