Isaac's servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there. The discovery of fresh water — living water — is the sign of covenant provision in a new location. The valley where Isaac settles after the expulsion becomes its own place of provision. John 4:10-14 uses living water as the image of the Spirit's provision — the freshwater wells of Genesis are the physical anticipation of that spiritual reality. The application: the places you are driven to by opposition sometimes turn out to be the places where new provision is discovered.
