At Headwaters State Park the Gallatin, Jefferson, and Madison rivers combine and form the iconic Missouri River.
It is quite the sight to behold. Millions of tons of water flow through these rivers every year!
I can't help but think, If the Jefferson River suddenly stopped flowing, and ran dry. The Missouri River would consequently be lower and less powerful. If all 3 headwaters ceased their currents, then, the Missouri would cease to be critical.
Think of all of the vegetation, animals, and communities that depend on this river.
All changed drastically because of a lack of consistency...
Our testimonies of the Savior are the same. A lack of consistency will lead to spiritual stoppage. We can't take a day off. 3 streams must continually flow in our lives in order to have strong sacred flow. Prayer, Scripture study, and Church must be a priority in our lives to keep our spiritual spring from "running dry"
Without activity and anxiously supplying these streams with the course of Christ, we loose our strength, we lose our power, we lose our value.
Let's not forget to remember:
What is downstream that depends on the living water
How crucial those 3 simple standards are
And that consistency is key
"O that thou mightest be like unto this river, continually running into the fountain of all righteousness!" - 1 Nephi 2:9
