And yet, in each of us, God has provided a Stepwell in which rests wonderful, life-giving water. But sometimes we have to step into the well in order to draw from it.

That’s what David had to do.

Consider David. He had gone through the terrible time of having his men’s wives and his own wives kidnapped. Understandably, the men lashed out against their leader. They wanted to kill him. David cried out to God.

He wept until he had no more tears.

All of us have had times when we wept like this. Perhaps you lost a loved one or a spouse recently. It could be that you have lost your job and while in the beginning, you had confidence that you would soon find one, months have gone by without any real leads.

One man I know lives daily with the agonizing truth that his wife is slowly slipping away due to Alzheimer’s Disease. These are times when it takes us going into the deepest part of God’s Stepwell to obtain even the smallest bit of comfort.
