当以色列人在旷野行走时，他们经常干渴无水；摩西击打盘石，盘石才流出活水来。但是当他们到了迦南美地，就不再需要击打盘石了，因为那地满了丰富的源、泉和河。那水不只是一道，必定有很多道水，取之不尽，用之不竭。
在新约中我们看到另一幅相同的图画：在约翰福音那里，主耶稣站着高声说，人若渴了，可以到祂这里来喝。信入主的人，就如经上所说，从他腹中要流出活水的江河来。这里的江河，原文是复数的，意指很多道水流。这是什么意思呢？这是指基督作生命的供应，有多方面的流出。
当我们信入了主耶稣，三一神就进入我们里面，在我们里面成了活水的江河。这河水的源头乃是父神，贮藏的泉乃是主，而流出的江河乃是那灵。阿利路亚，在我们里面有一生命的活泉，是永不干涸的活泉。
你曾否经历到你里面有很多道水流？有时我们被难处试炼所困扰，这时我们来到主面前，呼求祂，接触祂，我们可能经历祂是平安之源，是喜乐之源，是安慰之源；有时我们经历祂是爱之源，光之源；还有的时候，基督成为我们的忍耐之流，谦卑之流，宽容之流。阿利路亚，在我们里面有许多道水流，你需要什么，祂就是什么。这水流也在我们里面，取之不尽，用之不竭；不仅供应、滋润我们，还要从我们里面涌流出来。

Rivers of Living Water — John 7:37b-38
When the Israelites were walking in the wilderness, they were often thirsty and without water; Moses struck the rock, and living water flowed out of it. But when they arrived the good land of Canaan, they no longer needed to strike the rock because the land was full of abundant springs, fountains and rivers. That water was not just one river, but many rivers, inexhaustible in supply and always available for use.
In the New Testament we see an identical picture: In the Gospel of John, the Lord Jesus stood and cried out by saying, If anyone thirsts, let him come to Him and drink. He who believes into Him, as the Scripture said, out of his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water. The original word “river” here is plural, meaning many streams of water. What does this mean? This refers to the multifaceted outflow of Christ as the life supply.
When we believe in the Lord Jesus, the Triune God enters into us and becomes rivers of living water within us. The source of this river is God the Father, the reservoir (fountain) is the Lord, and the river outflowing is the Spirit. Hallelujah! There is a living stream of life within us, a fountain that never runs dry.
Have you ever experienced that there are many streams within you? Sometimes we are troubled by difficulties and trials. Then we come to the Lord, call upon Him and contact Him. We may experience Him as the source of peace, joy and comfort; sometimes we experience Him as the source of love and light; at other times, Christ becomes our stream of patience, humility and tolerance. Hallelujah! There are many rivers of water within us. Whatever you need, He is. These streams are also within us, inexhaustible in supply and always available for use. The rivers not only supply and nourish us, but also flow out from our inner being.
