Rivers: Places of Refreshment and Renewal

Psalm 1

The Rev. Sally Campbell-Evans

Rivers and streams in the Bible symbolize places of refreshment and nourishment. Elijah was fed by a brook. Jesus was baptized in the river. The Israelites found hope when God parted the Jordan for them so they could enter the Promised Land. Psalm 1 describes the law of God, which enables a person to be planted like a tree in water. We all need times of encouragement that can come from meeting God at the river.

  3. Where do you need balance in your life today?
