Gen 26:12 When Isaac planted his crops that year, he
harvested a hundred times more grain than he planted, for the Lord blessed him. He
became a very rich man, and his wealth continued to grow. He acquired so many flocks of sheep and goats,
herds of cattle, and servants that the Philistines became jealous of him. So the Philistines filled up all of Isaac's
wells with dirt. These were the wells that had been dug by the servants of his
father, Abraham.
We are blessed, yes.
God has promised us many things and His Word is true. However notice that the enemy sees the source
of the blessing here and fills it with earth.
(human beings were made from the earth so this can mean, that Isaac got
distracted with the human side of the blessing and the well was cluttered and
stopped)
Individually, and together, we re-dig a well. There is nothing new for us to do, but there
is surely, things to rebuild, to clear and to restore. One of these things is Prayer to the Church. When we pray, asking for nations, as we the
Church is mandated to do, we return to our roots, to the call of Abraham
even. He was promised the whole earth as
his inheritance, why should we limit our prayer request to anything short of a
widespread revival that captivates the Church in the love of God and lift up
Jesus as the answer.
When you are tired, dig.
When you are disappointed, dig. When
your kids slight you, dig. There will
always be brave souls who clear the earth from the wells that Abraham dug,
wells of grace, blessing, inheritance, sons and daughters. These are the forerunners of the future and God
will reward them – see verse 12
Be Blessed, Julie
