申命记八章所描绘美地之丰富的图画，说出基督能满足我们的各种情形和需要。祂是泉、是源、是溪流、是小麦、是大麦、是羊群、是牛群、是铁、是铜，祂是全丰全足的。这位包罗万有，丰富无限的基督，现今就住在我们里面，并且顾到我们一切的需要。无论我们遇见任何环境，发生任何遭遇，都无须挂虑。如果我们能认识祂的丰富，并将我们的需要告诉祂，将我们的忧虑卸给祂，我们将能实际的经历，祂能应付我们一切需要，作我们全备充足的供应。
美地的佳美在于它的宽阔与高超；美地的佳美也在于其上有测不透的丰富。美地上的丰富是包罗万有的，其中第一项丰富，在于那地的水。水是日常生活中生存的重要条件。几天不吃东西，还可以受得住，但是人若一天不喝水，就过不去了。我们需要水几乎胜于需要其他一切东西，每天我们都需要水。在申命记中，摩西向以色列子民描述那地的丰富时，第一项丰富就是水，那地的水是美好的。这里说到那地不仅有水，并且有河、有泉、有源。源是指着水的源头；任何一道河水必须有源头，水源才不致枯竭。泉是指贮藏，什么地方有泉涌出来，说出那里蕴含的水是丰富的。而河是指流出，泉和源涌出成了一道河水，才能灌溉田地，供人取用。在美地上，不仅有水，且有水的源头，有贮藏水的泉，这泉更流出成为一道河水。
在美地上有源、泉、流，这些水的意义是什么？我们可以从主的话里找到答案。主说，祂所赐的水要在我们里面成为泉源，直涌入永远的生命（约四14）。又说，信入主的人，从他们的最深处，要流出活水的江河来（约七38）。这些水乃是基督的生命，在我们里面作了各种不同供应的预表。每当我们的灵觉得干渴，我们来到主面前接触祂，或来到聚会中享受一首诗歌。这时我们觉得清爽、滋润、复苏，如同被水充满了。在聚会中，每当我们向主献上祷告与赞美，就像流出活水一样，使弟兄姊妹得到滋润。这就是主生命的供应成了活水，流过我们，带给我们生命的供应。

The Good Land with Brooks of Water, Fountains and Springs — Deut 8:7
A rich picture of the good land described in Deuteronomy chapter 8 shows that Christ can meet our every need and situation. He is a spring, a fountain and brooks of water, wheat and barley, sheep and cattle, iron and bronze. He is all-sufficient. This all-inclusive, infinitely rich Christ now lives in us and takes care of all our needs. No matter what circumstances we encounter or what happens to us, there is no need to worry. If we know His riches, tell Him our needs and cast our anxiety on Him, we will be able to experience practically that He can meet all our needs and be our all-sufficient supply.
The beauty of the good land lies in its breadth and superiority, also lies in its unsearchable riches. The riches of the good land are all-inclusive. Among them the first richness lies in the water of the land. Water is crucial for survival in daily life. You may survive a few days without food, but can’t survive a day without drinking water. We need water almost more than anything else, and we need it every single day. In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses described the riches of the good land to the children of Israel, the first richness was water, and the water of the land was good. It is mentioned here that the land not only had water, but also had rivers, fountains and springs. Spring refers to the source of water; any river must have a source so that it will not dry up. Fountain refers to storage. Wherever a spring gushes out, it means that the water is abundant. The river refers to the outflow, the fountain and spring gush out into a river to irrigate the fields and provide man with water. In the good land, there is not only water, but also a source of water, a fountain that stores water and it flows out into a river.
There are brooks of water, fountains and springs in the good land. What is the significance of them? We may find the answer in the words of the Lord. The Lord said that the water He gives us will become a fountain of water gushing up into eternal life (John 4:14). He also said he who believes into Me, out of his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water (John 7:38). These waters are the life of Christ, typifying the various supplies within us. Whenever our spirit feels thirsty, we may come to the Lord to contact Him, or we may come to a meeting to enjoy a hymn. Then we feel refreshed, moisturized and revived, as if we were filled with water. Whenever we offer prayers and praises to the Lord in a meeting, it is like flowing rivers, nourishing the brothers and sisters. It is the Lord’s life supply becoming living water, flowing through us and bringing us the supply of life.
