The Dry Well
from Devotions with Pastor Stanton · host Stanton Petersen
Imagine you are wandering through a blistering desert, desperate for water. After miles of searching, you stumble upon an old stone well. You happen to have a perfectly crafted wooden bucket and a thick, unbreakable rope. With great hope and complete confidence, you lower the bucket down into the darkness. But instead of a splash, you hear a dull, hollow sound. The bucket hits dry dirt. At that moment, you realize that it doesn’t matter how strong your rope is, how sturdy your bucket is, or how much sincere belief you had that you would find water. Your belief couldn't change the reality at the bottom of the hole. Faith, you see, is only as good as the object it is dropped into.
