Steps on Your Journey to Know God More Intimately
- Makor is a fountain or a spring. Hay is life.
- Think about this name. Close your eyes and imagine God as a fountain of life and “cascading light” (MSG). What do you see? Talk to the Lord about what you see.
- Think about a fountain. What is it like?
- What is the difference between a pool and fountain? What difference might that make in this name?
- How is God like a fountain to you?
- In John 10:10, Jesus says, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” Think about that. Jesus came to bring us a full, abundant life.
- What does it mean to you that He is your fountain of life?
