Springs are sources of fresh water, essential for survival in ancient times, especially in the arid regions of the Near East. The imagery of God sending forth springs suggests His active involvement in creation, providing for both human and animal life. In biblical context, water often symbolizes life and blessing (<a href="/isaiah/44-3.htm">Isaiah 44:3</a>). The mention of valleys indicates low-lying areas where water naturally collects, emphasizing God's provision in places of need. This can be seen as a reflection of God's promise to provide for His people, as seen in the provision of water from the rock in <a href="/exodus/17-6.htm">Exodus 17:6</a>.<p><b>they flow between the mountains.</b><br>The flow of water between mountains suggests a natural path carved by divine design, illustrating the order and beauty of God's creation. Mountains in biblical literature often symbolize stability and permanence (<a href="/psalms/125.htm">Psalm 125:1-2</a>). The imagery of water flowing between them can be seen as a metaphor for God's grace and sustenance reaching even the most remote and rugged areas. This can also be connected to the idea of God's presence and provision being constant and unchanging, much like the mountains themselves. Theologically, this can be seen as a type of Christ, who is the living water (<a href="/john/4-10.htm">John 4:10</a>), providing spiritual sustenance and life to all who come to Him.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God (He)</a></b><br>The verse attributes the action of sending forth springs to God, emphasizing His role as the Creator and Sustainer of the earth.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/s/springs.htm">Springs</a></b><br>These are sources of water that emerge from the ground, symbolizing life, sustenance, and God's provision.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/v/valleys.htm">Valleys</a></b><br>Low areas between hills or mountains, often fertile and lush due to the presence of water.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/m/mountains.htm">Mountains</a></b><br>Elevated landforms that often serve as natural boundaries and are significant in biblical symbolism for strength and stability.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_provision_and_care.htm">God's Provision and Care</a></b><br>God actively provides for His creation, ensuring that all living things have what they need to survive.
