Jesus the fountain of life

Every day we must think that God is our sustenance, that He is the one who sustains us, when we need strength He gives it to us. That fountain is Jesus, who quenches all our thirst.

He is our salvation, that source is inexhaustible, everyone who seeks this fountain will be satisfied, because that fountain helps us to remain confident that this fountain of life will be there whenever we need it.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

Psalm 36:8

In the previous verse the psalmist David gives us to understand how majestic God is, what He does with each one of us. God will bless our homes, where we will not lack anything because we will be completely satiated.

God’s people will have no need for anything because God will supply His people with delights, and they will enjoy all the things that God has commanded for His people.

Just as God has supplied the material in our lives, He has also blessed us spiritually, because when we have needed strength and words of encouragement, we have received it because God so willed it.

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

Psalm 36:9

The psalmist David went through difficult times, in which he had to run from one place to another, and this was because he had enemies who wanted his death. But this man lived trusting in the Lord, he knew that God was the inexhaustible fountain, that his help came from God, who supported him, who helped him to win and that every day gives him the victory, so it is good that we trust in that fountain that is inexhaustible and that at the same time illuminates our path so that we can walk with freedom.

When we meditate on this powerful truth, we understand that the Christian life is not sustained by our own abilities, nor by our own strength, but by the continual flow of grace that comes from God. That fountain never dries up, never becomes scarce, and never denies water to those who come thirsty. In a world that so often leaves us exhausted, confused, or without direction, the Lord becomes our safe haven, the only place where our soul finds true nourishment.

Think for a moment of all the times when you felt empty or discouraged. Perhaps you prayed, and although your circumstances did not change immediately, you sensed renewed peace in your heart. That peace did not come from yourself; it came from the fountain of life that flows from God. Many times His help does not manifest in the way we expect, but it always arrives in the way we truly need. His fountain refreshes our spirit, strengthens our mind, and gives us clarity when everything around us seems dark.

The people of Israel experienced this countless times. When they walked through the desert, God provided water from a rock, reminding them that the true provision does not come from visible resources but from His powerful hand. In the same way, God continues to show us that He is capable of supplying in the most unexpected ways. When a door closes, He opens another. When strength ends, He renews it. When fear rises, He brings peace. That is why David could confidently say that in God’s light we see light, because only God can illuminate our darkest nights and give us direction when we feel lost.

This fountain of life is also a call to draw near to God daily. A fountain is useless if we never drink from it. Many people seek satisfaction in temporary things, but those waters never fill the heart. Only Christ can satisfy fully. When we read the Scriptures, pray, worship, and walk in obedience, we are drinking from that river of delights that Psalm 36 describes. Those who depend on this fountain do not faint, because they know their strength comes from above.

Let us then place our confidence in that inexhaustible fountain. Let us remember that God does not abandon His people, and just as He sustained David in his persecution and loneliness, He will sustain us in our trials. No matter how difficult the path may seem, God remains our eternal source of life. Drink from Him daily, because in His presence you will find everything your soul needs.
