 Washing Dishes

Look at this water. We plan to wash dishes in this hot soapy clean water.

I think it would be nice to add a little color to my day. I think I will add some red to my dish water.
Now, let's add some chocolate drink for an interesting effect.
How about some coffee?
Wow! Look at the water about my dishes! The dishes do not look real clean.
We need to start over in clean water with these dishes. No one does this to their dish washing water. But many people do this to their bodies. They drink these things instead of water. As you can see it is not the best washing liquid is it?
Clean pure water is best.

Your body needs clean water to wash it too. After the work of digestion has finished, there are bacteria and viruses and particles of food like on the dirty dishes. When you first wake up in the morning, the best thing you can do for your body is to take in 3 glasses of fresh purified water. You can not hold that much at one time so, set the timer for every 15 minutes while you are reading your Bible. Each time the timer goes off set it again and refill your glass.

 

Washing dishes in clean hot water helps remove all the bacteria and viruses. These are tiny things you cannot see that cause disease. If you use a microscope you can see these living germs.

 

How to clean water for drinking

If you are in an area where there is no clean water available you can filter available water through a charcoal filter and boil it for 20 minutes.

 

Cover it to keep it clean as it cools.

If you have no filter, just boil your water for 20 minutes. This kills most of the bacteria and viruses. It does not take care of everything but it really helps. 

Charcoal can be obtained from burnt wood. It helps purify water for it makes the bacteria and viruses stick to its surface instead of troubling your body. It is helpful to put a little in the water but it has a strange texture. Most people do not like the sensation in their mouth.

Warm water is best for drinking.

If you choose ice cold water, you shut off your thirst mechanism and make it harder to drink lots of water. Ice chills the body organs and is a shock to your system first thing in the morning.

Jesus said, "If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink" (John 7:37) He is talking about a different kind of water but showing us it is just as important as water is to our survival.
We cannot survive without water for more than a few days. Some people can live up to 6 weeks without food but all living things need a continuous supply of water to survive. God knows this. That is why He said what He had to give was as important as water and even more important.
Jesus said that Who ever drinks of the water that He gives will never thirst; but the water will spring up inside his heart and produce everlasting life.  John 4:14
A spring bubbles up like this fountain. That is a great promise. Jesus said you will have plenty so you can share.
