My Daily Meditation For The Circling Year by John Henry Jowett

AUGUST The Fifth BROOKS BY THE WAY

ISAIAH xii.

The wells of the Lord are to be found where most I need them. The Lord of the way knows the pilgrim life, and the wells have been unsealed just where the soul is prone to become dry and faint. At the foot of the hill Difficulty was found a spring! Yes, these health-springs are lifting their crystal flood in the cheerless wastes of evil antagonisms and exhausting grief.

Sometimes I am foolish, and in my need I assume that the well is far away. I knew a farmer who for a generation had carried every pail of water from a distant well to meet the needs of his homestead. And one day he sunk a shaft by his own house door, and to his great joy he found that the water was waiting at his own gate! My soul, thy well is near, even here! Go not in search of Him! Thy pilgrimage is ended, the waters are at thy feet!

But I must |draw the water out of the wells of salvation.| The hand of faith must lift the gracious gift to the parched lips, and so refresh the panting soul. |I will take the cup of salvation.| Stretch out thy |lame hand of faith,| and take the holy, hallowing energy offered by the Lord.
