Week
Twelve – The Woman at the Well
Psalm
16 – Every Woman’s Journey
By
Carri Pratt
“You
reveal the path of life to me;
in Your presence is abundant joy;
in Your right hand are eternal pleasures.” Psalm 16:11
in Your presence is abundant joy;
in Your right hand are eternal pleasures.” Psalm 16:11
The
Samaritan woman at the well was probably having a typical day doing housework,
cooking, coming to the well for some water. What was not typical was the person
she would meet. Her life was about to be changed for eternity, and she did not
even know it.
That
very day, Jesus “reveal(ed) the path of life to (her)” Psalm 16:11a and “in (His) presence (there was)
abundant joy!” Psalm 16:11b
When we encounter Jesus we are changed
forever.
“Therefore, if
anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation; old things have passed
away, and look, new things have
come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
Jesus can change all
people who call on His name,
Accept Him as Savior,
Believe He is the Son of God,
Confess by repenting and turning
from sin,
and embracing Jesus as Lord of your life.
This is the Good News and it is
very
Good!
“Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks from this water
will get thirsty again. But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him
will never get thirsty again—ever! In fact, the water I will give him will
become a well of water springing up within him for eternal life.” John 4:13-14
Challenge: Be merry
this Christmas Season because God sent His one and only Son to the earth to
bring you JOY!

Digging
Deeper:
Isaiah prophesied the encounter
we can all experience when he wrote, “with joy you will draw water from the wells
of salvation.” Isaiah 12:3
