The Well

“Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.”
- Gen_25:11

I looked up Lahi-roi in the Hebrew dictionary. This is what it says, "H883
בּאר לחי ראי
be'êr lȧchay rô'ı̂y
BDB Definition:
Beer-lahai-roi = “well of the Living One seeing me”
1) a well west of Kadesh, south of Israel"

The living well is the one we should dwell at. Jesus spoke of rivers of living water flowing from those who believe in Him. (Joh 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. )

We need these living waters because we do not need to eat or drink death. Jesus conquered death and is alive forevermore.

There is a song by Casting Crowns titled The Well. The message of the song is pretty simple to understand. "Leave it all behind and come to the well."

Let's leave the past in the past where it belongs and press toward the mark as Paul did.
