1. Beersheba means “well of living waters” or “well of flowing waters”. This is the value that the prophetic word has for us: a precious fountain whose water does not stop flowing among us. God’s enemy will try to clog the well, cut off the supply, divert us, and distract us. We must not allow this; on the contrary, may this water continue to spring up unceasingly (Genesis 21:25, 29-31; Numbers 21:17-18).
2. Bethel means “house of God,” which is the church. Christ will not return only for a few super spiritual and mature individuals. He will return when He has the church built up—the bride prepared, as a glorious church, without spot or wrinkle, to marry her. We are cooperating for this purpose: the building up of the house of God (Ephesians 5:25-27; Genesis 28:17; Matthew 16:18).
3. Hebron means “fellowship”. Living in constant fellowship with God is like something that has been conquered. To conquer the land of Canaan, the people would need to face giants and fortified cities. If we look only at the difficulties, we will be discouraged; but, like Caleb, we need to have another spirit—that is, to persevere in following the Lord, believing in His word (Numbers 13:30).
4. “Thanks to the Lord, there is no rivalry among us, no one seeks vanity, considering himself superior to others. No one considers only what is properly his own, but also what belongs to others; only in this way can we live together. This should have been the attitude of Lot when he lived with his uncle Abraham” (Philippians 2:1-4) (Daily Food, book 6, week 3, Friday, p. 51).
