Get Under The Spout

I've often heard old-timers use the phrase, "Get Under The Spout Where The Glory Comes Out," as a reference to being in the right place, time and frame-of-mind to receive God's blessings. Isaac was in a similar situation when he faced famine and tribulation. God instructed him to stay where he was, instead of going to Egypt, and allow God to supply his need.

Trouble does one of two things,
1. It makes us more sensitive to God, and more aware of our weakness and dependence upon God.
2. Or It makes us dull and insensitive, and self assertive.

If famine trial and tests bring us a greater revelation of God, then they have served a greater purpose than a life of ease and comfort

Just like the quarter back will not throw the ball until his receiver is in the intended position, neither will God release the blessing until we are in position to receive.
