Today's Daily Lesson comes from Psalm 78 verse 15 and 16:
15 He split rocks in the wilderness
and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.
16 He made streams come out of the rock
and caused waters to flow down like rivers.
There is a reservoir buried deep within each human soul. This is not surface water and is therefore not easily accessible. Only the splitting of rocks can get to it. In other words, only pain opens us to the deep discovery of the well within.
It is out of the depths that the source and sustenance of life stirs. It lies there mostly hidden and unknown and even unheard of until desperation forces us to looking for it. And there it is, buried deep and hidden from plain sight, yet coursing and flowing beneath and so very full of life. Only the pain of being cracked open, split apart, and dug deep into can lead us to this marvelously surprising discovery:
I've got a river of life flowing in -- and now out -- of me.
