Gen 21:19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. Then she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad a drink.
When Hagar and Ishmael ran out of water, Ishmael almost died. Overwhelmed with grief, Hagar placed him in the shadow of one of the shrubs and then went about a bowshot away – just far enough to avoid hearing his voice as he lay dying.
Though Hagar may not have known that where there is a large vegetation in the desert there is also a high water table, God opened her eyes to the fact that a well of water was nearby. God had providentially directed her wanderings and given her a demonstration of His faithfulness. ( Holman study Bible NKJV Edition)
Like Hagar, you may be currently in great distress. Your provisions may be running out and you may be in the verge of giving up. Don’t get worried because what you need is within reach. There is a well of water in the covenant of grace.
The same God who opened Hagar’s eyes is going to open our eyes too and enable us to perceive and partake our blessings. Cheer up, He has heard your prayers.

Very inspiring, God will open our eyes the same way he opened Hagar’s eyes she saw the well and fed the lad. We are not going to die because our God will provide.
Amen, thanks Phylis for your feedback. Be blessed.
