WHICH WELL?
Have you ever seen church folks that are constantly chasing something new? Often they become “church hoppers”.
They find a church and it is wonderful. The pastor is great. The music is out of this world. The programs are perfect. It is not long before something sours. They are off looking again.
Others are constantly looking for some new spiritual experience. They hear about a new book, a different conference, another preacher/teacher. Always on the search for something new.
People, with glowing and upturned faces give exuberant reports of the latest blessings. Their implications often seems to be that you are missing out on the latest. They have experienced religion in a way you have not. You have not been blessed with the experience they have.
The problem? Maybe you are not good enough, (I thought it was about grace). Maybe you aren’t holding your hands right when you lift them in praise or saying the right words. Maybe you haven’t been in the right place. But there is a constant thirst and search for something different. Something new. Something exciting.
Could it be that in your life situation you have not needed that particular blessing?
I thought that Jesus said that whoever came to him and took from him the water of life would never thirst again. Isn’t that enough?
Stop chasing after every new thing. Spend some time in the presence of Jesus. He will fill you and satisfy you. He is enough. If you are drinking from the well of newness and excitement it will always run dry. If you are at the well of living water from Jesus, you find satisfaction. John 4:13 – 14 Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”
Choose your well wisely.
