Just Keep Digging

When I read the story of Isaac as he re-dug the wells of his father Abraham in the book of Genisis chapter 26 I’m reminded of the many battles we face today. It seems like every time we find a place where we feel Gods blessings someone comes along and throws dirt in the well we are drinking from. But Isaac teaches us a very simple lesson about persistence. When the Philistines filled in his wells he knew they wanted him to leave and move far away. But instead he found another spot close by and began digging again. When he found water the next time they came and fought with him for it to. But we see that he walked a little ways further and started digging again. The point is, even though people keep trying to steal the water that is rightfully yours, keep digging for sooner or later the Lord will make room for you and give you rest. People may not like it when you start drinking from the wells of salvation and out of jealousy they might kick dirt back into your wells but don’t let them discourage you from digging deeper in your relationship with God. So grab your spiritual shovels and start digging again in prayer, study, and worship. Rest will come in God’s appointed time. God Bless!!!
