You have been in situations in which things were going pretty good, and then you did something to screw things up. You find yourself in a jam and don’t know exactly what to do? One thing all have in common is the ability to mess up a good situation, and the ability to think you’re stronger than you really are.
Look at the word of God, you will find that God is talking with you about real life situations and how you can and have messed up the good plans He’s had for your life. When things don’t work out like you’ve planned you find yourself wanting to just give up. But the good news of the gospel is that even when you blow it, God has a plan for your life. You should be amazed at how God wants to use you even though you do not deserve to be used. God just does not give up on you, even though God knows the real deal about you.
Hagar and her son Ishmael had it all, but because of their attitudes they lose it and find themselves in the desert. Their supplies have run out, and they are looking at death. Hagar could run through the scenes of her mind of how her actions had led her to this place. She knew they were going to die, and she was ready to give up. Even though they had blown it, God did not give up on them. When God looked down, he did not see two dying individuals. He saw two people who were going to become a great nation. God opened Hagar’s eyes to see a well of water right there in the middle of the desert. (Genesis 21:14-19)
When you’ve messed up a good situation you begin to feel like you should just give up. You would love to undo the past, but you know you can’t go back and change what happened. You could be having a hard time with someone close to you. It might even be your fault that you find yourself where you are. But your past behavior has not cancelled God’s call on your life, just get up and follow the word of the Lord. There is a well of water there in your desert. Just keep praying for the Lord to show you the well, and know that God has not forgotten you. Hagar and Ishmael wandered in the desert for awhile before their supplies ran out, but their wanderings led them to the place where God could open her eyes to see the well.
You know the feeling of having the weight of what you’ve done come down upon you all at once. It is a burden that gets too heavy to bear sometimes. The devil would like nothing more than for you to carry that burden in secret for as long as possible, to keep you from coming back to the Lord. Today is the day that your wanderings can led you to the place where God will open your eyes to see your well and have a new understanding with God. The call is to let Jesus walk with you through it. Where do you need restoration today? What relationship needs mending? If you’re willing to live for Jesus, there’s strength available to keep you from giving up. God will do something new in your life. But it comes with a price tag. You must be reading Gods word. You won’t see the Well if you can’t hear his Voice.
