Parshas Toldos

“And it was on that day that Yitzchak’s servants came and told him concerning the well that they had dug and said to him ‘We found water.’ ” (Bereishis 26:32)

This was not the first well that Yitzchak dug. He dug others and did not find water. Then he dug another and the people of Gerar disputed its ownership. But he kept on digging wells until this well unearthed water for him. (Chofetz Chaim al HaTorah)
