If I were to ask what the meaning of Hydrology is, most of us would be able to make a guess from the word ‘hydro’ meaning water. Hydrology is the study of water. More specifically, Hydrology is the science that encompasses the occurrence, distribution, movement and properties of the waters of the earth and their relationship with the environment within each phase of the hydrologic cycle.

You are probably wondering ‘what is he on about? No, you are not in a Science class. I want to briefly point out the relationship between water and the Word. Let’s see what Eph 5: 26 -27 (NIV) says,

‘…to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, ²⁷ and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.’

Water has similar properties with the Word of God. Even though we are not hydrologists, and don’t know exactly how, we are all familiar with the huge benefits of water for the body both externally and internally.
