The River

Most every  country has a great river

and is shown as being romantic at

same time.

In the Bible the rivers out of the garden

of Eden is mentioned in Genesis 2.

This was when began and there was 

no sin. River is mentioned as life and

healing.

In Ezekiel  47 the prophet  speaks

about vision of giving life and healing 

to the dead sea. Each time going in 

he went deeper in. It represented

the presence of God. We given more

life by being  close and letting  the

work of the Holy Spirit.

There were other river mentioned 

in the Bible like Euphrates  that

was in the area of Eden. The Red

Sea that was parted when the

Egyptians were after them. The

Nile of Egypt. 

It seems to me rivers feel romantic 

and going to any in the country is

a thrill. Before I  knew God really 

as a child I  thought he spent a

lot of time in the mountains and

the oceans. What the river represents 

means he is there too.

In United States there is the Mississippi 

best known though the Missouri is the

largest though it flows into the Mississippi 

too.  In my state of Washington the 

Columbia River is the most known though

there are a lot of rivers here. It actually 

starts in British Columbia  Canada in the 

Rockies Mountains.

The most notable  River and largest in

Canada is the St.Lawrence. I visited 

there as a child. The one I visited the

most often is the Fraser River in British 

Columbia when I travel to see my cousins.

The Yangtze River is the longest in China

and Asia. China has five major rivers

and they all a part of the history of China.

Volga River is the longest in Russia and 

all of Europe.  Danube is the second

in Budapest,  Hungary though goes 

through ten countries.  The Rhine River

very well known though not nearly as

long as the first two.

In Africa the Nile is the longest however

there is the Congo, Niger, Zambezi and

the Orange River as the top five.

We can't  forget in South America  the

most known in Brazil  is the  Amazon 

River. Every river of the world  has a

a story to tell. Wherever you live or

travel go to a river or more than one.

Let God give you his life through the

River of the Holy Spirit.
