Water

A few facts about water:
The elephant can smell water up to 3 miles away. Also, a dogs' nose is so sensitive that it can tell the difference between a tub of water and a tub of water with a teaspoon of salt in it.
There are almost 800 different brands of bottled water for sale in the United States.
The human brain in two thirds water.
A human being is about 70% water.

But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. (Psalms 3:3)

Drowning--as a stone sinks to the bottom, so our soul sometimes falls. We are sure to drown in our troubles, but God can lift our head above the water and save us.
God is the one who saves us.

But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord. (James 1:6-7)

Wave unstable to build on.
People are unstable when they vacillate.
Reuben was labeled unstable by his father.
Unstable in doctrine: so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. (Ephesians 4:14)

Willing to Suffer
A converted native was to be baptized in a river. The missionary took a long spear with him into the swift current to steady himself. Inadvertently he stabbed the foot of the convert beneath the water. The man neither spoke nor moved. After the ceremony when the accident was discovered, the convert was asked why he had kept silent. "I thought it was part of the ceremony," he replied. In a way he was right. Baptism should be an external expression of willingness to suffer for the Lord Jesus Christ in whose Name the believer is baptized.

One water is most important; it is the Water of Life.

And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let the one who hears say: "Come!" And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wants it take the water of life free of charge.
(Revelation 22:17)
