Let The Living Water Flow
“And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. And Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found there a well of springing water.” Genesis 26:18-19
There are times in our lives that we are going through a spiritual valley and we want to obtain victory – we want to have answers, we want God’s power to flow through us again.
In this passage, Isaac found springing water after digging up the wells of his father Abraham again. In Hebrew, the phrase springing water is “Mayim chayeem”. It literally means “living waters”.
Jesus made us a promise: “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” – John 7:38
The Lord promises us rivers of living water – not a puddle, not a pond, not a lake – He said rivers! These waters are not meant to be stagnant and not meant to be dammed up! They need to be flowing – unrestricted!
We, who are believers in the Lord Jesus have those living waters within us – but we must clear out the obstacles in our lives that prevent them from flowing! Sins of unforgiveness, resentment, bitterness, and clinging onto pet sins are just a few of the barriers which can dam up the “rivers” of living water! Let’s seek the Lord and ask Him to search us deeply and thoroughly so that we may know how to destroy those obstacles that clog the free movement of His Spirit in our lives!
Let’s seek the Lord and purpose to re-dig our wells again and the living waters will flow afresh.
