Why You Don't Need 8 Glasses of Water per Day

Did you know it’s a myth that we have to drink 8 glasses of water a day?

Listen to the audible version of this post at: God in Sixty Seconds

Unless you’re super sweaty from heat, exercise or because you are, well um, super sweaty! – you don’t need 8 glasses of water a day.

We just need to drink what we need.

But not 8 glasses of water.

Water is good. But it has no special properties. So 8x nothing special does, well um, nothing special.

We can’t game the system by drinking 8 glasses a day, when we’re simply going to, well um, pee it all out again.

That’s why Jesus says, “Whoever drinks this water will simply thirst again.”

Maybe what’s true of water is true of other things: Money, Success, Reputation. We think by having more, we will be more happy. Instead, we still stay “thirsty.”

Jesus offers us instead what he calls Living Water.

Living Water that gives us what Jesus calls Eternal Life.

A full life. A filled life. A fulfilled life.

Give me 8 glasses of that per day.

But we only need 1 serving.

Because Jesus really is enough. We will never thirst again.



John 4:13-14
