The Zodiac and the Gospel - Chapter 6 Aquarius

✩✩AQUARIUS (THE WATER BEARER)✩✩


Corresponds with the tribe of Reuben
Hebrew - de LEE - meaning the water urn or bucket




The Latin word aquarius means water pourer. This constellation depicts a redeemer pouring out his spirit upon us. He pours an unlimited supply of water from an urn into the mouth of a fish. The Bible abounds with Scripture referencing the Lord pouring out His spirit as water is poured out on His people. Jesus promised, "If anyone thirsts let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water" John 7:37-38.

The story of the water bearer is the story of a Savior giving a world the greatest substance of life. As fish need water, we need the Spirit of the Lord. Jesus came not only to be our atonement, but also the water of life poured out into a stream that never runs dry.
Nothing  will hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain, for as the waters fill the sea, so the earth will be filled with people who know the LORD. Isaiah 11:9
Here are some references for water being the promise of life:
Nothing will hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain, for as the waters fill the sea, so the earth will be filled with people who know the Lord. Isaiah 11:9
The LORD will be our Mighty One. He will be like a wide river of protection that no enemy can cross, that no enemy ship can sail upon. Isaiah 33:21
For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with an awareness of the glory of the LORD. Habakkuk 2:14
Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. Ezekiel 36:25
I'm so thankful that Jesus is our refreshing and living water. He possesses an endless supply of water and pours it out onto us. His water cleanses us, baptizes us to makes us new, and is drank into our bodies as refreshment for our souls. The constellation of Aquarius, and its message, is one of my favorites in this series.

Rasean

Once upon a time on April 2, 2022, the first track meet in Milton Freewater, OR wrapped up. I thanked my kid's coach for all her time and effort. I told her I really appreciated it.  Her response, on the other hand, is something that took me by surprise.  Not, "Thank you!"  Not, "No problem."  Not, "I'm so glad you guys could make it."  Nope. It was more like, "I'm so glad Rasean is on the team. He's a real inspiration to everyone, especially the other boys."  I thanked her and went on my way like we'd just exchanged pleasantries. But something about the way she said it made me believe she really meant it -- like really meant it. As volunteers rolled up flags and posted finals scores I walked away from her to the Honey Bucket. Why was I so in awe at her response??  Once in the Honey Bucket, it became a time capsule. Suddenly I was transported to the years and decades I'd safely tucked in the back of my mind.  There she wa

Equal Joy This is our eldest son, Isaiah . His name means " YAHWEH is salvation ". It's been his name since before we were married. It's just him. Our hope is it completely fulfills who he is as he continues his journey identifying with whose he is. He, and his brother, our truly our pride and joy as I'm sure any parent can relate. Basketball and golf are two words that can get Isaiah's attention at any given moment. He's mostly likely found either at the gym or on the course working hard to perfect his games. Yesterday was a big day for him. He golfed a 40 for the first time on the back nine. He was so excited. That was only the beginning. One of those shots was a chip in for birdie from 30 yards. My heart burst with excitement for him as I was able to see his hard work paying off right before my eyes. But it gets better! After carefully being measured by the clubhouse staff, he discovered someone had donated a set of irons to him that fit per
