Genesis 26:1–35 "Where to Find Water"

Christians—like the patriarch of Genesis—are sojourners, and a sojourner’s top priority is to find water. This reminds of Jesus' powerful message to the woman at the well in John 4:13–14, “…whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” Genesis 26 gives us a reassuring picture of how God provides life for His people wherever we are in our Christian journey, and presses us to seek out this life in Christ.
