In the ancient Near Eastern context, brooks or streams were vital sources of water, especially in arid regions. The imagery of drinking from a brook can symbolize humility and reliance on God's provision. In biblical typology, this act can be seen as a representation of Jesus Christ's humanity and His reliance on the Father during His earthly ministry. The brook by the road indicates a place of transition or journey, possibly alluding to the path of obedience and suffering that Christ undertook. This imagery connects to other scriptures where water is a symbol of life and sustenance, such as in Psalm 23:2, where God leads His people beside still waters. therefore He will lift up His head.

Teaching Points Humility Before ExaltationJust as Christ experienced humility before being exalted, believers are called to embrace humility, trusting in God's timing for their exaltation. Sustenance in Trials The brook symbolizes God's provision during difficult times. Believers can find refreshment in God's Word and presence during their life's journey. Victory Through Perseverance Lifting up the head signifies victory. Christians are encouraged to persevere through trials, knowing that victory in Christ is assured. Christ as Our Example Jesus' journey, as depicted in this verse, serves as a model for believers to follow in humility, reliance on God, and ultimate triumph.(7) Drink . . . lift up.--The victorious leader, "faint yet pursuing" (Judges 8:4), pauses at the stream that crosses his path, and then refreshed, with head once more erect, continues his pursuit of the foe. Such is undoubtedly the meaning of this verse, and we need not suppose a sudden change of subject, as some critics do, as if the picture representing a thirsty warrior were unworthy of Jehovah. Poetry knows nothing of such timidity, and with the grand scene of Isaiah 63:1-6, of the hero stained with blood, we need not hesitate to admit this further detail so true to life, even if we had not in Psalms 60, 108 images of a still more homely type.Verse 7. - He shall drink of the brook in the way. Primarily, the action described is that of pausing in the pursuit of enemies to refresh one's self with a draught of water from a brook by the wayside; but, if we interpret the passage of the Messiah, we must understand the refreshing draughts which he ever draws from the well-spring of truth and righteousness as he advances on his career of victory. Therefore (i.e. because of these draughts) he shall lift up the head. He shall never faint nor be weary (Isaiah 40:28), but shall continue the pursuit of his enemies unremittingly, as Bishop Perowne says, "with renewed ardor, with head erect and kindling eye," never resting until at length all things shall have been put in subjection under his feet (Hebrews 2:8).
