Water to visualize God

Pillar of smoke by day and fire by night is one form God has taken in the Bible. Bright light or burning bush is another form. But there are many qualities of water as found on Earth that give shape to some of the important attributes of God as people have put into words and handed down the generations.

(1) Takes many forms (solid, liquid, vapor, also ?plasma),
(2) Each form that it takes has different properties and powers and contexts,
(3) life-giving,
(4) beautiful, clear and pure,
(5) majestic vastness and precious is a single drop,
(6) a public good or right,
(7) something for all, no matter their status or place in life,
(8) comprising a great part of each person's physical self.
