In Genesis 26:24-25 we read of Isaac and his struggles to make it in the desert. He was very prospersous and this made the Philistines envy him. They would fill in his wells. Without water his flocks and servants would perish. At Beersheba, he had an encounter with God and Isaac built an altar where he called on the name of the Lord.
We are all the same kind of people today, strong willed, and we must be willing to lay upon an altar. It is up to you to submit. Have you presented yourself a living sacrifice to God? 1Cor 6:19
Isaac pitched a tent, which speaks of detatchment, that he was willing to go when and if God led him away.
Then he dug a well. Water in the Bible refers to the annointing, meditation on the Word of God. When a person dwells with the Father, he is like the tree planted by the rivers of waters. Ps 1:3. For Isaac, it was physically a matter of life and death! Remember, he was a very wealthy man; not in money, but in sheep, cattle, servants, living beings who had to have water to exist in that harsh environment. It truly was "dig or die".
We must have that Living Water ourselves in our walk with the Lord. We have to keep pouring out love and care and work for the Lord, and it is hard, but that's what we are here to do. When we get dry and empty, we have to go back to the well. Dig deeper into the Word, go to the altar, seek the Source to be filled again. It is DIG OR DIE!!
We have to dig a little deeper, pray longer, worship harder, touch the Throne more, kneel longer, confess more, dig or die! We must have His strength for this race that is set before us so that we can be strong enough to allow God's Presence to go with us!

A Message for Memorial Day
America~she is still a great nation, probably the best that has ever been on this earth, founded on the principles that make the United States the blessed land that it has been, principles found in the Word of God Almighty. But, we are in trouble, we have gone astray, taken the road of destruction, undone in only a few years what our forefathers fought to attain for many years in some very tough battles.
The latest outrage from the White House was to demand that Israel give away land! Just imagine!! Very few reporters were allowed inside while these talks were taking place. Our own government had been planning to force Netanyahu to give back Israel's land, but the Prime Minister stood strong, face-to-face with Obama, saying those terms were non-negotiable! Thank God for such a strong leader-Israel must be always on the defense to survive.
The tornadoes and floods here in the US have been some of the worst since the '30s. We are in the end-times: you put pressure on Israel--you will pay the price.
Let's go over a little bit of REAL American history you might not find in the textbooks today:
The first Community building in the new colony in America was a church.
The Puritan's first act was to pray, praise, and dedicate anything they did or built to God.
William Penn made sure all officials professed Jesus Christ as Lord or they could not take office.
Did you know that the law of the land is based on the Ten Commandments?
The Supreme Court Building has the 10 Commandments on the building, and the Federal Building has Moses and the 10 Commandments on the front.
Our first President said we can't govern without God, and the Congress of 1782 recognized the Bible in public schools.
The framers of the Constitution encouraged God and the 10 Commandments, the US is founded on Christianity, the Constitution ends in "year of our Lord", we actually ARE One Nation Under God.
You can safely say that God birthed America. He helped the US in wartime. History books (before the '50s and 60's) tell of His divine intervention in the affairs of America. Those who are in the position to do so will write and re-write school books, but nothing can ever change history itself and the role that our Heavenly Father played in our beginnings as a great nation.
