The imagery of flowing water is frequently used to symbolize divine provision, purity, and the sustaining power of God. This entry explores the various contexts in which "flows" appear in the Bible, drawing from the Berean Standard Bible for scriptural references. 1. Rivers and Streams: The Bible frequently uses the imagery of flowing rivers and streams to depict God's provision and the abundance of His creation. In <a href="/genesis/2-10.htm">Genesis 2:10</a>, the Garden of Eden is described as being watered by a river that "flows out of Eden to water the garden." This river symbolizes the life-giving and sustaining power of God, providing for all creation. In <a href="/psalms/46-4.htm">Psalm 46:4</a>, the psalmist writes, "There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells." Here, the flowing river represents the presence and blessing of God, bringing joy and sustenance to His people. 2. Flowing with Milk and Honey: The phrase "a land flowing with milk and honey" is a recurring biblical expression denoting the richness and fertility of the Promised Land. In <a href="/exodus/3-8.htm">Exodus 3:8</a>, God promises to deliver the Israelites from Egypt and bring them "to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey." This imagery conveys the abundance and prosperity that God intends for His people. 3. Spiritual Flow: The concept of spiritual flow is evident in the New Testament, where Jesus speaks of the living water that He provides. In <a href="/john/7-38.htm">John 7:38</a>, Jesus declares, "Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." This metaphor of flowing water signifies the Holy Spirit's indwelling presence, bringing spiritual life and renewal to believers. 4. Flow of Blood: In the Gospels, the account of the woman with the issue of blood highlights the theme of flow in a different context. In <a href="/mark/5-25.htm">Mark 5:25-29</a>, a woman who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years is healed when she touches Jesus' garment. Her healing signifies the power of faith and the compassionate response of Jesus to those in need. 5. Flow of Blessings: The Bible also speaks of the flow of blessings from God to His people. In <a href="/malachi/3-10.htm">Malachi 3:10</a>, God challenges the Israelites to bring the full tithe into the storehouse, promising, "See if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing without measure." The imagery of blessings flowing from heaven underscores God's generosity and faithfulness. 6. Flow of Words and Wisdom: Proverbs often uses the imagery of flow to describe the outpouring of wisdom and righteous speech. <a href="/proverbs/18-4.htm">Proverbs 18:4</a> states, "The words of a man's mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook." This metaphor highlights the value and refreshing nature of wise and godly speech. In summary, the concept of "flows" in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings, from physical rivers and streams to spiritual blessings and divine wisdom. Each instance underscores the dynamic and life-giving nature of God's interaction with His creation and His people.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/3686.htm">3686. onoma -- a name, authority, cause</a> ... them from all others.
