Dr. Laniak writes, "the most common way to get at underground water is the hardest way. Dig wells." I believe it can be said that this is the best way to get at underground water and that this is often the only way to get to underground water.
The only way to get to this water and also have it be fresh, lasting and sustainable. You might try explosives to get to the water. You would get to the water but it would be muddy and it would quickly return to the dryness that was there before. There will be no sustainable structure unless the well is dug carefully, slowly, and patiently. Is this not another way that the training and skills of the shepherd are useful for leadership in general? If we are to provide lasting refreshment it cannot be rushed or else whatever is achieved will be so often, and so quickly ruined.
Lord, help us to have the wisdom to be as patient as necessary that our work would be a pure, long lasting and truly refreshing blessing. _________________ Rick Bunker
