Genesis 21:33 says, “And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.”

I love that picture. Abraham didn’t just pass through Beersheba. He planted something there. He put roots in the ground. He slowed down long enough to mark the moment and acknowledge the God who had brought him this far.

Sometimes faith looks like moving forward. Other times, faith looks like planting a grove. It looks like saying, “God has been faithful here, and I’m going to remember it.” Abraham called on the name of the Everlasting God, not because everything was easy, but because everything was secure in Him.

That word everlasting means God is not in a hurry. He’s not aging. He’s not wearing out. The same God who was faithful yesterday is faithful today, and He will be faithful long after this moment passes.

If life feels unsettled, maybe it’s time to plant a grove. Pause. Worship. Call on His name. Let your soul rest under the shade of the Everlasting God. What He started, He will sustain. And what He promised, He will finish.
