"Welcome to the Days of Praise" podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. "The wells of salvation, therefore with joy, shall you draw water out of the wells of salvation." Isaiah 12, 3. This beautiful verse is in the midst of a psalm of praise for God's deliverance of His people in that day. "The coming day when the Lord shall return to the earth and reign in the midst of you. Until that day comes, however, we can appropriate its spiritual blessings right now." The word translated wells is more often translated "fountains," denoting flowing springs of water that never run dry. It is first used at the time of the great flood when in one day where all the fountains of the great deep broken up. On that day, the primeval fountains provided by God for the perpetual supply of living waters to the inhabitants of the very good world He had created were cleaved open. The living waters became lethal waters, and all that was in the dry land died. But one day, another fountain was cleaved open. As Jesus died on the cross, a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came their out blood and water. At the great feast of tabernacles, he had cried, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. He that believes on me, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." The blood and water flowed together from the deep fountain opened in the Savior's side that day, and their cleansing powers became a fountain of life to all who will drink. The waters again became living waters from a fountain that will never run dry, a pure river of water of life proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. Then, wonder of wonders. There is not just one well for all who believe, likewise, send forth rivers of living water. As with eternal joy, we each share with one another, forever drinking from the never-drying wells of salvation.
