Hi. I'm so excited to be back after soooo long.

In this episode, I reflect on the need to press in and set up consistent habits that establish a DEEP FAITH that will be a base not only for myself but for the generations that are tied to us.

I reflect on Genesis 26:18-22 and my key reflection is on how Im personally pressing into reading the word of God!

Scripture:

Genesis 26:18–22 (NIV)

“Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them.

Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there, but the herders of Gerar quarreled with those of Isaac and said, ‘The water is ours!’ So he named the well Esek, because they disputed with him.

Then they dug another well, but they quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.

He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth, saying, ‘Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the land.’”

👁️ Observation:

Isaac’s journey mirrors the seasons of our faith walk. After Abraham’s death, the wells — sources of life and promise — had been stopped up by the Philistines. Yet Isaac chooses to reopen them rather than dig entirely new ones. He honors legacy, persistence, and faith in what God had already blessed.

Each well he reopens or digs represents a stage in spiritual maturity:

Esek (contention) — represents the battles we face when reclaiming what’s ours in faith.

Sitnah (opposition or hostility) — the resistance intensifies, testing our endurance.

Rehoboth (spaciousness) — the reward of perseverance; a place of rest, peace, and flourishing.

Isaac doesn’t stay where there’s strife; he keeps moving forward until he finds the space God prepared. The progression from conflict to contentment shows that peace is often found after persistence.

💡 Application:

In our own lives, the “wells” represent spiritual disciplines, dreams, and promises that may have been buried by discouragement, doubt, or life’s pressures. Like Isaac, we are called to re-dig those wells — to return to prayer, faith, and vision that once sustained us.

Sometimes, the first attempts to rebuild or restart meet opposition — people misunderstand, resources seem scarce, or doors close. But the key is not to quit. Keep digging. The Rehoboth season — the wide, open place — comes to those who endure through contention and hostility.

Ask yourself:

What spiritual wells in my life need reopening?

Am I stuck at Esek or Sitnah, or am I moving toward Rehoboth?

How can I honor the legacy of faith that preceded me while still walking boldly into my own promise?

🙏 Prayer

Father, thank You for reminding me that You are the source of every living well in my life.

Help me to reopen the wells of prayer, purpose, and faith that may have been buried by fear or fatigue.

Teach me to persevere through seasons of contention and opposition, trusting that You are leading me to Rehoboth — a place of peace, space, and fruitfulness.

May my life overflow as a testimony of Your faithfulness.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
