Going Back to the Well
(NIV) Isaiah 12:2-3 Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The LORD, the LORD himself, is my strength and my defense;
he has become my salvation. ”
3 With joy you will draw water
from the wells of salvation.
Did any of you ever have a well? When I think of a well I picture a pretty rock structure with a bucket that you let down with a crank. Dry when you release it, the bucket returns with sweet, cold water.
The well on my grandmother’s property was just a cylinder and a cup was sent down and returned with the water. Even as a child I thought it not very practical to have such a small container for water. But when in deep thirst, even a cup makes a difference.
We do not have merely a physical need for water, but each of us has a spiritual need for the living water found only in Christ Jesus. I encourage you to go to the well that never runs dry, and through grace, that unmerited favor given freely to all, draw from the living waters with joy unspeakable and full of glory. Read from the Scripture, speak God’s own words back to Him in prayer, and experience joy bubbling up from the depths of your being.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
