With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. ~Isaiah 12:3

In a recent attempt to draw closer to the Lord in prayer through fasting, I pondered the most basic of all needs.

Our need for water.

It seems obvious that we need water, of course. And who can argue with the reality that our body is made up of 60-75% water.

Roughly 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. Water is vital to every living form of life.

Water is needful for our survival. Take away water completely and you have roughly 3 days to live, because the physiological functions of your organs will fail.
