Will You Drink From the Jar or the Well ?

"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him"

Many years ago, a weary traveler hiked for miles across the desert with the hot sun beating on his back. His water supply was gone, and he knew that if he didn't find water soon to quench his thirst, he would surely die.
In the distance, he spotted a deserted cabin which brought hope that maybe water was to be found there. he made his way to the cabin and discovered an old well. He frantically pumped the handle of the well to draw water, but all that came from the pump was dust.
Then he noticed a tin can tied to the pump, with a note inside. The note said:

Dear stranger:
This pump is all right as of June 1968, I put a new sucker washer in it, and it should last for quite a few years. But the washer dries out and the pump needs to be primed. Under the white rock, I buried a jar of water, out of the sun and corked up. There's enough water in it to prime the pump, but not if you drink some first. Pour 1/4 of the water into the pump and let her soak for a minute to wet the leather washer. Than pour the rest medium fast and pump hard. You'll get water. Have faith. The well has never run dry.
When you get watered up, fill the bottle and put it back as you found it for the next stranger who comes this way.

Would you have faith to pour the jar of water into the well as the note instructed?

If we are so certain, sure, know what is going to happen........than there is no need of faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God.
