“And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.”~ Gen. 2:10
Anyone with an ounce of practical savvy knows that if you’re to take care of a problem, you must go to its source. You lay the axe to the root of the tree, says our Lord. For example, many well intentioned Christian counselors tell wayward believers the root of their problem is sin. But this is not so, God has taken care of the sin problem. The sinning saints’ problem is God! Until one returns to “The Fountainhead,” he or she will never find the solution to their dilemma. And so it is with any and all of our difficulties that we face in this life.
Because one adheres to and recites a creed, “I believe in the one true God,” is not sufficient to deliver them from these sticky situations. The devils hold to that creed (James 2:19). Only a personal relationship with a personal God will accomplish it. Mere intellectualism or even a show of moral piety will not suffice to get us out of our messes. A commercial faith calculates; scriptural faith counts on God.
Oswald Chambers says, “Keep right at the source and you will be blessed.” And dear Amy Carmichael writes, “Drink from the Well, not from the streams that flow from the Well.”
