So Acsah went directly to her father, one of the leaders of Israel, and made a special request: "As our land is in a dry place, please also give us springs of water." And her request was granted.
Sometimes in life we find ourselves going through dry and challenging seasons. It's good to remember that we can follow Acsah's example and go directly to our Father to ask for times of refreshing.
The Bible account tells us that Acsah and Othniel were given the "upper and lower springs." I don't know what that meant in their reality, but it made me think that, even in our hard times, we can trust God to refresh us in different ways: sometimes "from above," with encouragement that comes directly from Himself or from the Bible; and sometimes He will use other people to refresh and encourage us on our journey.
Are you in a dry season at the moment? Speak to your Father and ask Him to give you those springs of water.... and watch out for them, so that you don't miss them when they come.
