The Lord wants us to get our counsel from Him.
Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out. (Pro 20:5 KJV)
Women were the ones that drew out the water for their families.
And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, the time that women go out to draw. (Gen 24:11 MKJV)
Behold, I stand by the well of water. And the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water. (Gen 24:13 MKJV)
The woman at the well found out that the true living water we need is from Jesus.
A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink." (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock." Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." (Joh 4:7-14 ESV)
Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well. Should your overflowing springs be scattered outside, like rivers of waters in the streets? Let them be only your own, and not to strangers with you; let your fountains be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth; (Pro 5:15-18 LITV)
The Lord loves His wife (the Church) but she has taken counsel (water) from other wells. She must return to her Husband's well and draw deeply from it. Her understanding of this must increase.
The words of a man's mouth are like deep waters, the fountain of wisdom like a flowing stream. (Pro 18:4 LITV)
Cease to hear instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge. (Pro 19:27 ESV)
Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand. (Pro 19:20-21 KJV)
The Tree of Life is planted in the midst of the River of Life.
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
(Rev 22:1-2 ESV)
A locked garden is My sister, My spouse; a spring locked up, a sealed fountain. Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with excellent fruits, with henna and spikenard; spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon; with all trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes; with all the chief balsam spices; a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters; even flowings from Lebanon. Awake, north wind; yea, come, south wind; blow on my garden; let its spices flow out. Let my Beloved come into His garden and eat its excellent fruits. (Son 4:12-16 LITV)
My beloved spoke, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. (Son 2:10 KJVR)
"I, Jesus, sent my Angel to testify to these things for the churches. I'm the Root and Branch of David, the Bright Morning Star." "Come!" say the Spirit and the Bride. Whoever hears, echo, "Come!" Is anyone thirsty? Come! All who will, come and drink, Drink freely of the Water of Life! (Rev 22:16-17 MSG)
