For us, what seems so ordinary is a luxury in other places. Clean, running water is a blessing we take for granted everyday.
Water is essential to life. Many across the world suffer from a lack of water. Some have water, but it is not clean. We take it for granted every day.
Imagine needing to boil water to make it safe or having to go to a well or a spring to draw water for ordinary chores. It is one thing to do something for a week or in an emergency, but for some it is a daily chore.
I cannot help but think of Moses during the forty years in the desert. God provided what needed in every way, including water from a rock.
"Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will drink.” - Exodus 17:6
In the beginning, they recognized the miracle. How long was it before they took the running water for granted.
Enjoy your clean, hot water for showering today and your clean, cool water for drinking.
Today, I am grateful for clean, running water.
