Are You a Chunk of Cement or a Thing of Beauty?

"The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life." Proverbs 10:11a

Think of the most beautiful fountain you have ever seen?  I am sure your body just immediately relaxed a little and you let out a huge breath!  The refreshing noise of running water and the beauty of cascading falls immediately brings peace and restores the soul to all who pass by!  However, that refreshment only comes when the fountain is plugged into a water source.  Otherwise, it is just a big chunk of cement that can be more of an eyesore than a thing of beauty.  The key... it must be plugged in!

The Bible tells us in the book of Proverbs that our mouth can be a fountain of life!  God will allow our lips to be a refreshing agent of Him.  However, we must be plugged into Christ and His Words, we must be connected to the "River of Life" (Revelations 22:1).  Unless our lips speak from the overflow of His Words and Presence in our life, they are empty and meaningless to those who pass by.

The question is simple, today are your lips going to be a refreshing fountain of beauty or simply a chunk of cement not being used for what it was created?  If today you want to be a fountain, then first you must be plugged into the River of Life!  If you have never acknowledged that Jesus is the Son of God, admitted that you are a sinner who has fallen short of God's Glory incapable of ever working your way to Heaven on your own, thanked Jesus for dying on the cross for your sins, and asked Him to be Lord of your life: you must do that first!  Remember, a fountain MUST be plugged in!  Second, if you have made this decision, spend some time with Him today so that you can overflow His presence in your life.

Today... be a fountain!
