"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 up after the death of Abraham. He called them by the names which his father had called them."
In every generation God calls His church to once-again "re-dig" the wells of the waters of life, which our "fathers" had employed and en-
joyed. The "Philistines" are always roaming about, seeking to "stop them up" with the "earth" of the world--but they are never fully-able to eradicate the existence of these good and heavenly blessings.
Jesus, as found in His gospel of grace, is the Personification of the Water of Life. May we, even today, be busy by faith "digging again" into His Person, His love, and His mercy.
[Puritan quote of the day: "Where else can we now go but to Jesus, the ever-living Head of the whole church . . . who sends all gospel ministers, and on whom they universally depend?" --Jonathan Ed-
wards, in his sermon, "The Sorrows of the Bereaved Spread before Jesus"]
