Living water

Genesis 26. Then Isaac built an altar there and worshipped the LORD.He set up his camp at that place, and his servants dug another well. V 25.
Previously the touchstone for knowing the will of God had been through circumstances, in particular Isaac stayed wherever he dug a well, found water and was not opposed. In this verse the sequence is reversed.
- He built an altar and called upon the name of the LORD.
- He pitched his tent.
- Isaac's servants dug a well.

The place for God's people is the place of God's presence. The place of intimacy, worship and communion with God is the place to abide. There we should dwell and there be assured of God's provision for our needs. Material needs are thus considered last, while spritual needs are primary.
Matthew 6:33 - Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.

V 32 That very day Isaac's servants came to him about a new well they had dug." We've found water ! " they exclaimed.
- the place of God's presence is also the place of of God's provision.
