Water composes three-fourths of the globe yet remains desperately deficient in much of the world. A water shortage does not exist, but relocating it from where it falls to where it is needed is prohibitively expensive. Antarctic ice contains three-fourths of the world's fresh water, but that doesn't make it convenient to water a lawn in Los Angeles or to irrigate a field in Ethiopia. The American Southwest has as critical a shortage as any place in the world. The Plains and Midwestern states pump from the vast Ogallalla Aquifer much faster than it is resupplied. The Jordan River, shared by Jordan and Israel, now flows at a billion cubic feet a year from a thirty-eight million cubic feet per year in the past. The African droughts continue to jeopardize millions of people in at least fifteen nations, and China struggles to keep the Gobi Desert from encroaching on its expanding population. We can survive only two or three days without water. While a 5 percent loss of body water debilitates, a 15 to 20 percent loss is fatal. What water is to the body, Jesus is to the soul. But he offered living water — living because God gave the Holy Spirit as a deposit on our future state. What will one day be an overflowing is even now an abundant life within.
