The Proven Well of Supply

BEVERLY BEMIS HAWKS

The wells of Abraham were proven wells. The Philistines had stopped them with earth, but the springs were still there. The source was just waiting to be uncovered and used.

Isaac, Abraham's son, was forced to leave the land of King Abimelech because he manifested such abundance in so short a time that the people envied him. (See Chapter 26 of Genesis.) Then Isaac sent his men to dig out one of Abraham's wells so that he might settle there.

When strife ensued between Isaac's herdsmen and others who claimed the water was theirs, Isaac moved on and redug another of Abraham's wells, and still another, until finally there was no quarrel. Then Isaac and his men established themselves there and were fruitful.
