All My Fountains

By Michael Youssef, Ph D.  07/01/26

Read Psalm 87.

Psalm 87:7 is about those of us who have been reborn in Christ. Here is what the psalmist said: “As they make music they will sing, ‘All my fountains are in you‘” (emphasis added).

Where are your fountains? Are they in material things? Are they in physical fitness? Are they in people—even those who are dearest and nearest to you? Are they in your identity? Are they in your occupation? Are they in your title? Are they in your family name? Are they in your reputation?

God’s surrendered sons and daughters know the joy of being able to proclaim, “In Him are all my fountains! They are in Christ alone.” The financial markets may go up and down. Family and friends, even Christian friends, may fail you, but the grace of God will never fail you. The peace of God, which cost Him the colossal price of coming to earth and dying on the cross, will never fail you.

His peace emanates from His inexhaustible fountain of grace. You can never exhaust the grace of God. You see, peace means to bind together. It is only the unmerited, unearned love of God that can bind a fragmented heart, can bind two broken hearts together, can bind two families, two communities, and even two nations together. That’s the power of God’s matchless, infinite grace—His inexhaustible love. This kind of peace will be established by God; it will be founded on the Rock of Ages, the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the source of living water, and He has promised all who believe in Him that “rivers of living water will flow from within them” (John 7:38).

Are you resting all your hope in Christ? Are you allowing Him to transform you into a conduit of His love and grace? When we find our hope in Him, when our fountains flow from His living water, we’ll never run dry. We’ll be peacemakers, ambassadors of an eternal Kingdom, and true friends to the lost as we share the hope that will never disappoint.

Prayer: God, I pray that all my fountains would be in You alone. Thank You for Your inexhaustible fountain of grace. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

“As they make music they will sing, ‘All my fountains are in you'” (Psalm 87:7).
