“Dwelling At The Well”
John 4:14
During trouble and trials, we find ourselves going to the well to draw out of desperation, we’ve tried everything to find a solution to the problem, and finally go to the well to stay awhile. It is good and it is right to go to the well when we are burdened and in despair; But during the good times of life, we find ourselves just casually visiting the well, as if we don’t need it so much or we don’t really have the time to visit often or stay longer than what’s necessary to get our needs met.
When we only cry out to God when we’re in trouble we’ll never know Gods complete will for our lives; we will surely miss Gods best. When your desire is to dwell close to the well while in trouble and stray away in prosperity, you are not committed to God and will continually stay weak and undernourished.
Isaac dwelt at the well of God and made it his constant source of supply, whether things were good or bad. (Genesis 25:11) We should feel at home by the well, we should show reverence for it, our spirit should hunger to be there, and it should be a much familiar place. We, as believers, should want to dwell where God is, because on our own, we are defenseless and wide open to attack.
Let’s learn to live in the presence of the living God and you’ll have the living well. Happy is the person that dwells at the well of God, it never fails, never goes dry and gives us opportunity to help someone else while we are there.
“Well Living”
Dwell at the well and find fellowship sweet,
stay away long and disaster you’ll meet.
Come, leave your pots and stay a spell,
You can surely be filled,
then go away with the well.
