Well the April rains have come to Missouri in a big way! And if April showers bring May flowers, then April downpours bring May floods. We live less than a mile from the Meramec River which seems to flood every spring…and this year is no exception.
Yesterday the Meramec closed the River Road. By this afternoon the river had reached the bottom of our stop sign…and it’s yet to crest.
The Mississippi River is also approaching flood stage, and the Army Corps of Engineers is considering the possibility of breaching the levies in rural areas to protect the more populated cities.
Their logic is simple: If they poke a hole in the levies the water will flow from the river into the lowest lying farm land. Water always flows to the lowest elevation…and fills the lowest spots.
And so it is with God, our Living Water. When we allow our walls to be breached, when we drop our defenses, God flows into our lowest places. Life is difficult for all of us, we all have problems. We have low places, stale and empty spaces that beg to be filled with Living Water.
