The Journey of Isaac

 The Journey of Isaac 

Reference Gen 26
  • God told Isaac to stay for a while in a place, and he did.
  • He yielded and followed the instructions.
  • He dug again the wells that had been made in the days of his father Abraham but were blocked by the Philistines after Abraham’s death.
  • And he renamed them, using the original names his father had given them. 
  • During Esek (Contention), he did not fight for a disputed blessings even though he was string enough to defend.
  • During Sitnah (hatred), he moved on / adjusted his life priorities as per Yhwh's instructions, commands and decrees. 
  • When he found Rehoboth(Room, more room, broader space, blessings) and recognised no one given him a trouble, he gave credit to the Lord- Declared that now the Lord has give us room and we will flourish in the Land,
  • He planted seeds in the dry environment and God blesses him 100 fold. He become wealthy (Not just rich). 
  • All his enemies came to him, realizing that God was on his side, and said they wanted to make a deal—a covenant to maintain friendly relations.
  • Isaac hosted a formal banquet for them, where they ate and drank together. The next morning, they made oaths to treat each other only with kindness. Isaac then sent them off, and they departed in peace.
  • That same day, Isaac’s servants came to him with news about the well they had dug, saying, “We’ve found water!” He named the well Shibah, and to this day, the city is called Beersheba.
