EXPLORATION
The people of Israel had a very fickle faith. One minute cursing God, the next crying to him. I remember a story of an orphanage in Mexico where a lady of great faith and strong persuasion was building a school for the children. She had acquired the land, had buildings built and had a well dug. On the day of the grand opening of the school when lots of people that had invested in the school or hopefully would invest in the school were to come visit the well ran dry. Pastors and missionaries, locals and laborers all stood around it, wondering what to do and praying that God would intervene. There was no way to get a drill rig in there and re-drill in time for the grand opening. This lady that had made this orphanage her life work had been busy making lunch and was unaware of the problem until lunchtime came and very few people were around to eat it. She was informed about the problem and left the kitchen and headed to the well where people where gathered looking at this dried up well and praying that God would intervene. When she got to the well she looked down into the hole and then she looked to heaven. She pointed a finger to heaven, and yelled pointing her finger to the well. “DO YOU SEE THIS? DO YOU SEE THIS?” and then turned to everyone standing around and said, “come and have lunch.”
Before people arrived for the grand opening, water arrived at the well.

APPLICATION
