Are you a well digger or a well-digger?
Do you know what the difference in the
two are?
A well digger is a person who
feels there is oil or water under the
surface of the earth and they are
determined to reach it and bring
it to the surface for others to
partake of.
A well-digger is something that happens
when your life, family or organization
is off balance and spinning out of control;
leaving deep grooves in the surface.
It's extremely easy to become a
well-digger; as just living life haphazardly
will grant you just that.
The results will be a lot of debris, people
and things destroyed leaving much
time and energy spent to mend.
Whereas, being a well digger takes
planning, precision and setting thing
in the right direction with all the support
system in place.
The results from well digging can be
oil wells, water wells or wells of
living water breaking forth.
When this takes place many people
are nourished and flourish verses
being broken or destroyed.
As the Wright brothers were building
the first airplane they noticed things
were off balance. They seen the results
in the earth, as it was torn up with the
grooves from the wings on the plane.
Not giving up they found that making
the rudder more flexible instead of
unmovable gave the plane what was
needed to have perfect balance.
The rudder was not what turned the
direction of the plane, but was what
gave the plane balance.
Many times we are trying to get
our leaders to provide balance in
our lives but they are there to guide
us and set the course. Often we
destroy the whole project because we
are well-diggers instead of well diggers
and all the while we are blaming those
around us for the destruction going on.
A false balance is abomination to the LORD:
but a just weight is his delight. When pride
cometh, then cometh shame: but with the
lowly is wisdom. The integrity of the upright
shall guide them: but the perverseness of
transgressors shall destroy them.
Proverbs 11:1-3
Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights,
a great and a small. Thou shalt not have in
thine house divers measures, a great and a small.
But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight,
a perfect and just measure shalt thou have:
that thy days may be lengthened in the land
which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Deut 15:13-15
