Today's Daily Bible Booster
at
Peggie's Place!
by Peggie C. Bohanon
A daily cup of water from The Well, each workday, Monday through Friday-- to bring you His refreshing Word; to boost your spirit and start your day! Come to the Well and refresh your spirit, body and soul. There's enough for us all!
Food 'n Drink--Five Thousand to One!
Down the Path to the Well--a thought to remember along the way
Here we sit on Peggie's front lawn, all 5,000 of us, looking for some FOOD! There's none to be found (imagine Peggie's place with NO food!)--except some little boy down the street who's got a sack lunch--and he's not ABOUT to share it with anybody, let alone the crowd on Peggie's front lawn!
OK, I'm just having some fun but I HAVE got your attention and you know where I'm going...it wasn't Peggie's front lawn; it was a hillside in the Holy Land; and that crowd of 5,000 did not even count the women and kids (imagine not counting US!); and the little boy DID share his lunch. It was quite a day--and there WAS food for all!
Another time...another day, and Jesus sits beside the well. A woman of Samaria comes by to draw water, and finds, to her surprise, the Son of God who knows all about her--her deep, dark past, her long-unquenched thirst--and offers her a drink of living water so she need never thirst again. It was quite a day--and there WAS a drink for one woman that day, the woman at the well.
Let's admit it--we like the numbers, whether it's a pastor counting his growing congregation or a webmaster counting her increasing hits. Five thousand for a congregation--or a web page--sounds pretty good--and we ARE glad we don't have to feed them! But, stop! Look at Jesus, the Son of God--who ministers food to one group, drink to another--and the ratio is 5,000 to ONE! Did ONE soul matter to the Lord? Yes, FIVE thousand times YES! He speaks some of His most profound words to ONE woman, to ONE rich young ruler, to ONE Nicodemus, to ONE thief on the Cross--and to YOU and ME!
We may be one - and only one - but each of us is special in God's eyes. He'll feed the crowds--and the crowds are fine--but He'll not walk away from ONE woman or ONE man, wherever on Planet Earth they may be.
You see, God is not concerned with sensation; he is concerned with souls...your soul, my soul--your needs, my needs--and the needs of a whole world, ONE at a time. What are YOU needing from the Lord today? A word? A touch? A drink? He's sitting by the Well this day to meet that need--YOU are important to Him. Believe it--and have a wonderful day!

Draw from the Well--a verse and a prayer for renewing strength for this day
"Lord, thank You for loving each of us as an individual person; for being there day or night when we call, for satisfying our thirsty souls with the water of Your Word. Thank You for the touch You give us personally--the crowd's never too big for You to know just what *I* need. Meet my needs this day, In Jesus Name, Amen."
