I want to thank The Creation Club for posting this article on their website! The Creation Club was formed by David Rives Ministries to give gifted writers and contributors a place to share their content relating to Biblical Creation. Check out their website for tons of great content on Biblical creation. ​

Creation Speaks is a Biblical teaching ministry that uses nature writing and photography to glorify our Creator and teach the truth of creation. “But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?" Job 12:7-9

Revelation 21:6 “To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.” 
Why are scientists always looking for water on other planets? Because life can’t exist without water! NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory writes, "Liquid water is a necessity for every form of life known. With this in mind, scientists are eagerly searching for liquid water in places other than Earth." 

Each creature on this planet requires different amounts of water for survival. The Kangaroo Rat never drinks, but gets all the water it needs from eating seeds. And we all know about the famous camel that can trek across the hot deserts for months without taking a drink.

​On the opposite end of the spectrum, the jellyfish not only lives in water, but is nearly entirely composed of water. This squishy ocean creature is about 95% water and 5% organic material. When you see a jellyfish stranded on the beach, he will soon disappear under the hot sun, evaporating into the sky.

When you see a jellyfish stranded on the beach, he will soon disappear under the hot sun...
We humans require about 2.5 quarts of water per day. Without it, our blood thickens as we become dehydrated and we quickly die. You could probably last over a month without food, but won’t make it a week without water!

​
Even though some animals require far less water than humans, the truth remains that all animals will eventually die if they go without the water that they need. God did this to demonstrate to us that without Him, we would die.
In several of Jesus’ sermons, he referred to Himself as the water that everyone must have. As He stood in the Temple in Jerusalem, he shouted to the crowds, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink” (John 7:37). Just as water is essential to life on this planet, Jesus is essential to eternal life. ​ Without Him, we wither and die. Drink of the fountain of living water and receive eternal life! 
​John 4:13-14 Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
