Isaac came home to find that the Philistines had filled in every well his father had dug. They didn’t attack him — they just cut off his access to the source. He didn’t look for new wells. He re-dug the old ones — and the night he did, God appeared to him. Today’s devotional is for anyone who feels spiritually dry, not because God moved, but because the wells have slowly been filled in.
Abraham died. The man God called His friend. The man who believed the impossible promise. He died. And the very next verse says: “God blessed his son Isaac.” The work carried on. God does not retire when His people do. He buries His workers — but He never buries His work. Today’s devotional is for anyone who has watched a season end and quietly wondered if God’s purposes ended with it. He is the I AM — and He is already in the next chapter.
God asks Abraham for the thing he loves most — his son, his only son, whom he loves. The living proof of the promise. The boy he waited decades for. And the very next morning, Abraham got up and went. No hesitation. No bargaining. No day to think about it. Today’s devotional explores why Abraham could move so quickly — and what it looks like to hold everything God has given you with open hands. FAITH: Forsaking All I Trust Him.
