Simple wisdom


"Always drink upstream from the herd" - Will Rogers


This is the quote on the wall above our heads in this picture. Simple, logical and practical thought...with profoundly spiritual truth as well. In the Bible, in numerous places, it talks about the river of God and in Revelation about how it flows from the throne of God. Personally, I want to be drinking from the source, from the headwaters, from the very place where the stream/river starts...I want to be so close to His throne, drinking directly from Him so that His Truth is feeding and nourishing me. Settling for "downstream" waters is always risky; pressing in to drink deeply from the Source is always rewarding!
