John 4:10-11 (NIV)
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” 11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water?

Even with living water, you have to draw it with something. I think this woman said something prophetic about God here. With God the well is deep and you need something to draw the water up to be tasted and for the need (or desire) of thirst to be quenched. In the natural realm you would have a bucket of some sort attached to a rope. What do you think you need in the spirit realm to draw and release the water? Faith! Jesus said faith moves mountains. The whole conversation with the woman in John 4 is a spiritual one that she didn’t get until Jesus told her about her life, which was discerned spiritually.

We have been busy about getting the water from the well while Jesus is trying to teach us about living water! We do need to pay attention to and believe for material water, (food, clothing, housing…) however our FOCUS has to be on the living water, which by the way, will be a pipeline for all that we could ever need.
