Refreshing Waters

From time to time different assemblies are able to act on the Lord's word to Moses. "Gather the people together and I will give them water." Being so gathered, the saints are dependent on God and need to cry, "Spring up. O well," This is a wilderness scene, and the nobles stand there with staves in token of their pilgrim character, and at the command of the law-giver they dig the desert sand. This would be utterly futile under ordinary circumstances, but in the goodness of God the refreshing waters spring up and a song breaks forth.
Achsah was a woman of expectant faith, such faith as God delights to own by giving abundantly above all we ask or think. She moved her husband, Othniel, to ask of her father a field. Caleb gave them a goodly portion of south land. But a south land without water would soon be dried up, so she asks further. "Give me also springs of water." (Josh. 15 18, 19) So he gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.
