TRUE STORY! A few years ago I was getting these really insane water bills. I mean HIGH! So I decided to dig some wells in my yard to have water for my landscape. I live alone, so I know it hadto be from watering the grass. So I hired a company to come out and dig these wells. The foreman and I walked all around my yardand as we were walking he was putting down flags.I asked what the flags were for. He said, The flags represent good places to dig for water. I asked,Why do you have so many flags? He said, Im not sure if any of these places will produce water.I said, Hold up, you mean if you dig all these spots and dont hit water I still have to pay you? He said,Yes, thats how it goes. I said, Ok, fine. Needless to say, he dug three wells and never hit water. I said,Just stop. I got a few more extreme water bills and called him back. He said, Are you sure? I said, Yes, keep drilling until you hit water. The next well he dug he was down 500 feet and still didnt hit any water. He asked if I wanted him to stop. I said,Go deeper. He dug down another 200 feet and still nothing. I said, Go deeper. He drilled another 200 feet and he hit rock. I said, Blast it, cut it, do whatever you have to do but keep digging. After fighting the rock and breaking his drill and getting a new one we got a little deeper. He said, We are at 1,200 feet, why do you want me to keep going? I said, Cause Im tired of these water bills and Im going to do something about it. He said, But this is really deep. I asked him if he had hit water yet. He saidno, so I told him to go deeper. But you dont understand, he said. We dont usually drill this deep, this is going to be expensive. I told him that,Sometimes you have to go deeper to get what you are after, no matter what the cost. He started the machine and went down another four inches and hit a river of water. Just a few inches separated me from getting my breakthrough. That was five years ago and that well has never run dry. In 2013 I want you to apply that to your life in all ways. Sometimes you will spend time on a thing and it will produce no water. Dont be afraid to move onto another spot. YOU CANT HAVE FEAR. I dont care how much time you put into it. If the well is dry MOVE ON! Nothing lives where there is no living water. Be it a relationship, a job, a business, dont be afraid to move to another spot. Now, on the other hand, if you are digging your well and you are sure that it is not only where you want to be but where God wants you to be, then keep digging in that same spot. Dont stop digging until you hit a river of blessings.Dont stop praying until you live in the change youve been waiting for. Dont stop pushing until you deliver your breakthrough. Yes, it will get difficult. Yes, you may hit rock. Yes, there will be a cost. But when you get to what God is trying to get you to, YOU WILL RECOVER IT ALL! One of my favorite scriptures says that. PURSUE AND YOU SHALL RECOVER IT ALL! Some people give up when they are only inches away!! Dig dig remember God is behind you. Can someone say AMEN to this?
