There are five prominent encounters with water in scripture.
The Red Sea and the waters of challenge
The Rivers of Babylon and the waters of tragedy and suffering
The Negev and the waters of rejuvenation
The Jordan River and the waters of new beginnings
The Sea of Galilee and the waters of Immanuel, God With Us
All of these are waters God gives us. They are waters we walk through, and walk by, and waters whose shores and banks we stand on. They are waters that cover us. They are waters we drink from and which keep us alive.
We can go to these waters and learn from them.
