Following God’s Lead – Sharing His Word
Gathering by the well. That is one thing you can count on in the livestock sector. For instance, our cows gather by the well daily for water. It is usually around lunch time when they come in from grazing and hang out by the well for a drink during the heat of the day. I’m sure you are aware, the most important ingredient for sustaining life in a cow, or any breathing creature on earth for that matter, is water. The same is true for the crops we raise and all vegetation. Even though we rely primarily on the rains from heaven above, we do have wells for irrigation water. Water is the primary source of life for all living things.
This is the very reason why Jesus shows up by the well. He knows that people from all walks of life need to come to the well and draw water for themselves and their livestock. One episode in John 4 we are told about His conversation with a Samaritan woman by the well. This was also about noon during the heat of the day. He ultimately gives her a drink of “living water.” This same living water is what I would like to share with you through my blog.
My intention with these refreshing drinks of water is to come up with different ways to give you something to ponder. Providing insight about how your daily activities can or need to circle back to God. As you know, part of life is getting consumed with busy schedules and the necessity to be reminded of where our focus should be. I pray “By The Well” will ignite your thirst for God’s eternal promise and to seek Him daily.
The Lord has richly blessed me in so many ways and it is my aspiration to expose you to His Grace as well. Please reach out to me anytime. I would love to visit with you, not only about what I do on the farm, but about the loving God whom I serve. I will draw from the well an insight for you to consume each month, so keep checking in and discover a new perspective of “Following God’s Lead – Sharing His Word” By The Well.

Posture
How is your posture? Too often we get caught slouching over, not sitting up straight. The same holds true in our faith. “Sit up straight!”
Last Straw
The last straw. It broke the camel’s back and it can break our relationship with God too. Let Jesus carry the burden for you.
You are “Here”
Sometimes we use a sign to show us “we are here.” Find out where you are in your faith and let God show you the way to eternal life.
Old Photos
Old photos can show us where we have been and what we have done. From this moment, what will your photo look like when Jesus comes again?
On My Knees
How I appear on the outside does not always reflect what battles I am facing. When I get on my knees I feel closer to God. “Just be Held”
Shadow
Shadows preceed or follow us depending which way we are going. Burdens are like a shadow. Place your burdens at the foot of the cross.
Rear-View Mirror
Looking in the rear view mirror can be rewarding when driving away from animosity. However, God will use that experience to make you strong.
Are We There Yet?
Traveling children often ask if we “are there yet.” We might ask the same thing in our faith journey. Follow Jesus, He knows the destination.
The Rest of the Story
Paul Harvey’s radio show “The Rest of the Story” had many great endings. Through Jesus death on the cross, we new have a great “beginning.”
