"With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation." -Isaiah 12:3
This devotional invites readers to return-again and again-to the inexhaustible grace found in Jesus Christ. Drawing from the rich imagery of the wells of salvation, these various scriptural meditations remind believers that the Christian life is not sustained by novelty, effort, or yesterday's faith, but by continual communion with the living Christ.
Written by Dan Lemley, a ruling elder in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church with over twenty-five years of church leadership, this collection brings together one hundred devotionals originally written weekly over five years. Shaped by a deeply Reformed theology and confidence in Christ's present reign, these reflections are biblically grounded and spiritually hopeful.
Each devotion leads readers to Scripture, thoughtful application, and a closing prayer written in the first-person plural-reflecting the shared life of faith and communion of the saints. These are not abstract meditations, but practical encouragements for ordinary Christians seeking strength, assurance, and joy in daily life.
Rooted in Isaiah's promise and fulfilled in Christ's invitation-"If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink"-this devotional calls readers back to the same well from which God's people have always drawn life. Salvation is not merely announced; it is received, returned to, and lived out.
The volume concludes with five bonus devotions in an Afterword that draws the theme to its ultimate end: Worship. Here, readers are reminded that God's work of redemption-definitive, progressive, and final-finds its fitting conclusion in the praise of His glory.
Whether read daily, slowly, or revisited often, this devotional encourages believers to draw deeply, joyfully, and confidently from the wells God has graciously provided-today, tomorrow, and all the way home.
