Water, nature’s symbol of adaptability, flows around obstacles, reshaping landscapes and sustaining life. With it’s constant movement—from rivers to rain—it illustrates the need for change. Water demonstrates God’s love and provision, from the separation of waters to the living water Jesus offers. It’s flow reminds us that life requires movement, flexibility, and trust.

“And God said, ‘Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.’ And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so.” (Genesis 1:6-7 ESV)

Water symbolizes God’s life-giving provision, bringing nourishment, refreshment, and clarity. Genesis 1:6-7 highlights God’s ordering of the waters, demonstrating His power to bring structure and purpose. In John 4:13-14, Jesus extends this symbol, offering living water that eternally quenches our spiritual thirst.

“Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:13-14 ESV)

Just as water flows, adapts, and refreshes, tune into the flow ahead. The natural forces of creation signal purpose and direction. Divine provision flows, drink deeply and experience the refreshment of the creation.
