Cup of water

A cup of water. In debilitating heat, it can mean survival. 

A large clay pot sat beside our gate. Full of water. With cup attached. Ready to meet the need of any passerby. 

Unrelenting sun and desert wind meant dehydration was never far away.

The clay kept the water cool. Even on hot days.

Wells along the way

So he built an altar there, called on the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there. Isaac’s servants also dug a well there. [Genesis 26:25]

Dug well in Central Asia by Didiervberghe. Public Domain

When Abraham or Isaac or Jacob moved to a new place, they did the necessary. Built an altar and worshiped the Lord their God. Pitched a tent and dwelled in the temporary place. 

And dug a well.  Dug deep.  To tap into a source of water hidden beneath the ground.
