014 The Well House


Listen Later

In this podcast, Jeremy Griffin shares a reflection on well houses and draws a spiritual analogy.


He begins by describing well houses, which are small structures built to cover wells, especially in rural areas, to prevent freezing and contamination. Well houses are usually humble and not elaborately designed, just serving the basic purpose of covering the well.


Jeremy then notes that the house near a well house can be large and beautiful with many amenities. However, without the well house and the water it provides, the entire house would ultimately die. Water is essential to life.


He draws a parallel to the internal organs of the body. Though invisible, organs like the stomach, intestines and heart are what keep us alive, even if external body parts are lost. In the same way, the humble well house is what brings life to the surrounding house, though it may not be as impressive to look at.


The main point, Jeremy explains, is that spiritual things are like the well house and internal organs - what really matters and brings life. Outward appearances and accomplishments are just a "facade" without spiritual substance on the inside.


He quotes John 7:38, which references living water flowing from within. Jeremy encourages spending time with God to reveal opportunities to let living water flow out of ourselves to others. A pretty exterior means nothing without life on the inside, brought by the spiritual "well house" or core.


In closing, Jeremy notes it is 15 degrees in freezing Oklahoma as he records. He wishes the listeners a good rest of their day.
