**Ezekiel 47:9** — *"Wherever the river flows, there will be swarms of living creatures and a great number of fish, because it flows there and makes the waters fresh; so wherever the river flows, everything will flourish."*
The prophet stood at the threshold of the temple and watched water trickle from beneath the door — ankle-deep, then knee-deep, then a river no one could cross. This was not poetry. This was covenant geography: God's presence moving outward, and life erupting wherever it reached.
Notice what the text does not say. It does not say *some* things will flourish. It says *everything.*
The Dead Sea — that ancient wound in the earth — receives this river and becomes fresh. Salt cannot hold its ground against the source.
Consider the places in your own life that feel brackish, stagnant, beyond recovery. Scripture reminds us the river does not negotiate with the dead water. It simply flows.
Walk with the source, beloved, and let the flourishing follow.
