Dating in a Way That Honors GodSample

I pray you have felt strengthened and encouraged to look at this season differently. The last piece of encouragement I want to share with you is that spiritual positioning matters. When we look at the Bible, we see that many in Scripture found their spouses at wells—places of provision and community. For instance, Rebekah was found at a well when Abraham’s servant was seeking a wife for Isaac (Genesis 24). Jacob met Rachel at a well (Genesis 29). Even Moses met his wife, Zipporah, near a well (Exodus 2). I believe this pattern is not by accident. Wells represent being in the right place at the right time.

So, where is your well? Are you planted in the right places? Are you surrounded by community, serving in your church, growing spiritually, and seeking God above all else? Some people grow weary in waiting and withdraw from the very places where God wants to bless them. Isolation is dangerous, but staying connected keeps you spiritually refreshed.

Desperation often leads people to leave their wells and wander in the wilderness. The wilderness represents self-sufficiency, where we try to take matters into our own hands. It’s where people settle for the wrong relationships, saying, “Maybe this is the best I can get,” but don't settle.

Just as Adam was in the right place when God brought Eve to him, be faithful where God has planted you. When you stay near your "well"—worshiping, growing, serving, and thriving—you won’t have to chase after blessings because blessings will find you.

Challenge: Find a way to serve in your church or community this week.

Father, I choose to stay planted in You. Lead me to where I need to be, and keep me aligned with Your perfect will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
