Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour. A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”  John 4:6-7

It is often said that we must wait on the Lord, and with good reason. The Bible does teach us that waiting on God is the way He uses to renew our strength. But more often than not, in the stories of scripture, God is waiting on us. In today’s verse we find Jesus resting by a well. Now this seems a pretty normal thing, for the average guy on a hot day after a long walk. But Jesus is not just an average guy, He is the Son of God and He has plans than He often doesn’t explain to us. You see in Jesus’ daily calendar; He had scheduled a meeting with this woman from Samaria. She didn’t know it; the disciples didn’t know it and certainly no one in that unassuming little village would have guessed in their wildest dreams that the Messiah would stop at the outskirts of town that afternoon. Jesus wasn’t looking for anyone to impress Him with a formal welcome or reward Him with a generous honorarium. All He wanted was an honest conversation and a heart that was open to Him. Maybe that is all that Jesus is waiting for in our situation. Maybe we don’t need to wait, maybe we need to take a walk by a well and listen to what He has to say today. He has already finished all that needs to be done when He suffered on the cross and cried “It is finished!” Now He is resting by the well of living water for you and I to come and meet with Him today. Since Jesus is waiting: what are we waiting for?”

Today’s video was recorded at our monthly prayer and praise at Sunshine Christian Village and ends with the song “Fill My Cup Lord” Have a blessed week all!
