Monday — Foundation Day
What if the problem isn't that God has gone silent — but that something has quietly gotten in the way?
Today's Scripture: "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." — Genesis 26:18
Reflection: In Genesis 26, Isaac faces a frustrating discovery: the wells his father Abraham had dug were filled in. Not destroyed. Not gone forever. Just covered — by ordinary dirt, packed in little by little by the Philistines until the water became unreachable.
That image is a powerful picture of what can happen in our spiritual lives.
The source doesn't dry up. God's living water doesn't disappear. But over time — through busy seasons, hard circumstances, or quiet drift — things get in the way. What was once free-flowing becomes blocked. And we can mistake the silence for absence.
Jesus made a stunning promise in John 7:37-38: "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them."
Rivers. Not trickles. Not occasional drops. Rivers — flowing from within.
That promise hasn't expired. If your spiritual life feels dry right now, today's invitation isn't to search for a new source. It's to ask what's been covering the one you already have.
Isaac didn't dig a new well. He dug the old one back open. That's where we start this week.
Today's Application: Sometime today, simply ask God this question: "Lord, is something covering my well?" You don't need an answer yet — just the honesty to ask.
A Closing Thought: The water is still there. And the God who placed it there is still inviting you to drink.
