This was a strange song and a strange well. The children of Israel had been traveling over the desert's barren sands, and they were thirsty for water, but there was none in sight. Then God spoke to Moses and said, "Gather the people together and I will give them water" (vs. 16)
The people then gathered around with their rods. As they began to dig deeply into the burning sand, they sang, "Spring up, o well! Sing about it"...Soon, a gurgling sound was heard, and suddenly a rush of water appeared, filling the well and running along the ground. As they had dug the well in the desert, they had tapped the stream that ran below that was unseen but had been there for a very long time.
What a beautiful picture this is! And it describes for us the river of blessings that flow through our lives. When we begin to respond with faith and even praise, we begin to see God, the river of living water, even in the most barren desert. If each of us were to begin to really look at our lives, we wouldn't have to dig very deep to know the presence of our God in every situation. We would be able to see how He has carried us through, each and every time. When we looked at our own strength and knew we didn't have any, but then realized that we have come through every situation, every need, every dark time..because of Him..the chorus of praise that would raise up from the very depth of our soul would sound like an entire choir singing a resounding "Hallelujah"..Underneath all of the emotions that we deal with, there lies the strength of Jesus, quietly waiting to be tapped into..almost unseen except that we know He is there..because He promises to be..
And to that I say..Hallelujah..to the Lamb of God.
