How can you know what your calling is? It’s very simple. What’s flowing from your life presently the heart, the inside drive passion…pay attention? What comes easy to you? What’s working out supernaturally for you?

• Isaac dug a well in order to water his flock. But the inhabitants of the land challenged his right to be there. So he called that well “Esek,” or “Contention,” moved down the road, dug another well, and struck water once more. A second time, the inhabitants came and said, “This is our territory. Get out of here.” So Jacob named the well “Sitnah,” or “Hatred,” and went down the road a little farther. He dug a third well. This time, no one bothered him—so he called the name of this well “Rehoboth,” or “there’s room for me” (Genesis 26).

I have found life basically follows this pattern. You dig and strike some water. You find refreshment and good things happen. But strife or hatred follows. So you go down the road and dig a second time. Again there are problems. Eventually, however, if you don’t give up, you’ll find your Reheboth.

Isaac had the job of watering sheep. He didn’t agonize over it. He didn’t complain about it. He just tended to what was at hand—and he ended up at Rehoboth. That’s the key. Do what’s before you. Say, “Lord, here I am. You’ve allowed me to do this, and I’m going to do it as unto You. And if there’s strife or hatred, I’ll just move down the road and dig again until I find Reheboth.” God has a Reheboth for every one of us. Paul’s was apostolic ministry.
