Scripture Union Daily Guide 9 March 2022 MESSAGE
The Prophet Ezekiel was led by his guide (see Ezekiel 40:3) to the threshold of the temple from where water flowed eastwards as a blessing to Israel. Notice the increasing depth of the river as it proceeds away from the Temple into the open sea and how it impacts everything that comes in contact with it, including the trees, the salt water of the Dead Sea and its fish (vs.8‐10, 12).
This remarkable river is a pointer to the miraculous nature of a real river in God’s coming kingdom as well as the depth of God’s word as we study and meditate on it. Beyond this, it points to the spiritual depth of lives committed to Him. The trees were flourishing with leaves that will not wither and fruit that will never fail (v.12).
The river that flows out of the place of worship of God became a blessing not only to Israel but to other people. Read v.12 again to see the extent of the blessings. These waters of this river also signify the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Practice/Word Application
Food for Thought: Have I submitted my life to God to enjoy the blessings that flow from His place of worship?

Jesus’ love is very wonderful (3x) Oh, wonderful love. It’s so high you can’t get over it, So low you can’t get under it, So wide you can’t get around it, Oh, wonderful love!
Closing Prayer
• Jesus, you are the living water, keep me alive spiritually and don’t let me ever be cut off from you that I may forever be fruitful.
