Well With My Soul - Part 14 (May 16, 2021)
John 4:4-6 (NIV) – [4] Now he had to go through Samaria. [5] So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. [6] Jacob’s WELL was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the WELL. It was about the sixth hour.
“The context does not indicate that Jesus was in a hurry to get to Galilee. Thus, the necessity must be understood in a different way: Jesus went to Samaria to give the Samaritans what he had given to Nicodemus—the offer of eternal life by being born again. And, furthermore, by going to Samaria and bringing the gospel to the despised Samaritans, he showed that he was above… prejudices.” (Life Application Bible)
1. Sometimes, we just have to.
2. Go through not around.
Psalms 23:4 (NIV) – [4] Even though I walk THROUGH the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Genesis 33:18-20 (NIV) – [18] After Jacob came from Paddan Aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem in Canaan and camped within sight of the city. [19] For a hundred pieces of silver, he bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, the plot of ground where he pitched his tent. [20] There he set up an altar and called it El Elohe Israel. (which means “mighty is the God of Israel”)
Joshua 24:32 (NIV) – [32] And Joseph's bones, which the Israelites had brought up from Egypt, were buried at Shechem in the tract of land that Jacob bought for a hundred pieces of silver from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem. This became the inheritance of Joseph’s descendants.
3. You are not where you came from.
4. Remember, you are only human.

Hebrews 4:15-16 (NIV) – [15] For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are — yet was without sin. [16] Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Psalms 103:13-14 (NLT) – [13] The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. [14] For he knows how weak we are; he remembers we are only dust.
