—Ezekiel 47:1-7, 12
by: Lisa Moore.
As Ezekiel walked further away from the temple with his guide, the water flowing from it became deeper. First ankle deep, then knee deep, then waist deep, until it reached became a river that he could not pass over. What symbolism to describe our Christian walk! When we start out, we are just learning about Him (ankle deep). But as we continue to pursue Him, we reach a point where we go deeper and higher in the things of God. And just as the rivers provided fertile ground for numerous trees to produce fruit, we too, people from every nation, will continually produce fruit because we are connected to Christ.
