This teaches us that the comfort obtained by a one may often prove serviceble to another, just as wells would be used by the company who came after. So many are "Night of weeping",Midnight harmonies" an "Eternal day" "Crook in the lot" a "Comfort for mourners" has been a well digged by a pilgrim for himself, but has prove quiet as useful to others.
The pilgrim dig the well, but strange enough,it fills from the top instead of the bottom, specially we notice this is in the psalms such as the beginning,"Why art thou cast down,oh,my soul".
Travellers has been delighted to the footprint of a man on a barren shore,and we love to see the way marks of the pilgrims while passing through the vale of tears.We dig the a well, but heaven fills it with rain.The horse is prepared against in the day of battle,but safety is of the Lord.
The means are connected with the end,but they do not of themselves produce it. We use the means but the blessing does not spring from the means. See here the rain fills the pools, so the the wells become useful as reservoir for the water. Labour is not lost, but yet it does not supersede divine help.
Grace may well be compared to rain for it is purity, for it is refreshing and vivifying influence, for it comes alone from above,and for the sovereignty with which it is given. May the wells which you digged be filled with water!
O,what are maens and ordinances without smile from heaven! They are as clouds without rain or pools without water; Our God is the one fills our WELLS with WATER . He is the one who opens the windows of heaven and pour out blessings in our lives.
