Reflections On The Scripture: This verse from 2 Kings exemplifies a truth that we often face in our own lives - situations that look pleasant from the outside but are barren and unfruitful underneath. Is your life like the city described in this verse? It may look appealing to others, but you know the true state of it - the barrenness, the 'polluted water' within. Like Elisha was for this city, lean on the Lord to purify and refresh your life. His power can turn the barren ground of your life into a fertile field. With faith in Him, the 'naught' water can become a spring of living water that brings life to every part of your being.
