there is a well
of blessing within us that is just waiting to be found - we need to press in
when the circumstances look their bleakest - we need to believe that the
blessing is there for the taking and not stop when we get discouraged and don't
see the fruit of our labor!

“And the LORD shall
guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy
bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water,
whose waters fail not.” - Isaiah 58:11
Bill Bright tells an amazing story in his
book, "How You Can Be Filled with the Holy Spirit".
One such poverty twister hit a small part of
Texas where a man named Yates ran a sheep ranch.
Struggling even to keep food on the table,
Yates and his wife did all they could to survive.
Finally, they had to accept a government
subsidy or lose their home and land to the creditors.
One day, in the midst of this bleakness, a
geologic crew from a large oil company came knocking.
With Yates' permission, they wanted to drill
a wildcat well on his property, promising him a large portion of the profits if
they struck oil.
"What could I
lose?"
thought Yates, and he signed the papers.
The oil crew immediately set up the machinery
and began drilling.
Five hundred feet down, they came up dry.
Eight hundred feet, dry.
One thousand feet they sunk the shaft, and
still no oil.
Finally, at a little over eleven hundred
feet, they tapped into one of the richest oil reserves in Texas.
The hole sprayed its black wealth high into
the air, and soon the well was pumping eighty thousand barrels of oil a day.
Overnight, Yates and his family became
millionaires.
His property, once called Yate's Field,
became known as Yate's Pool. And soon hundreds of oil wells dotted the land
where once only sheep grazed.
Hmm. What if they had stopped at a thousand
feet?
And the victory will
only come when we dig for it.
We need to press in
when the circumstances look their bleakest!
We need to believe
that the blessing is there for the taking and not stop when we get discouraged
and don't see the fruit of our labor!
We need to expect great things and rich oil
in the Spirit! Because this is what the Lord has for each one of us!
Our breakthrough is just under our feet!
Be encouraged! Keep digging!
God has more in store than you can imagine!
