Genesis 26, Do not go to Egypt

Gen 26:1, THERE WAS A FAMINE IN THE LAND, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, in Gerar.

I find it interesting that here Isaac is in the land that the LORD intended him to be in Yet, there was a famine! Life has it’s trials YET, KNOW IN THIS HE HAS A PLAN, A PERFECT PLAN FOR YOU!

Isa 26:3, YOU WILL KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE, WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON YOU, BECAUSE HE TRUSTS IN YOU. 

Psa 37:23, The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way. 

Isaac and his men dug 2 wells and the people of that area argued with him over them! Isaac called these wells “Contention & Strife”.

Gen 26:22, And he moved from there and dug ANOTHER WELL, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth, because he said, “FOR NOW THE LORD HAS MADE ROOM FOR US, AND WE SHALL BE FRUITFUL IN THE LAND.” 

1Jn 4:4, You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, BECAUSE HE WHO IS IN YOU IS GREATER THAN HE WHO IS IN THE WORLD. 

TRUST IN THE LORD, AND DO GOOD; DWELL IN THE LAND, AND FEED ON HIS FAITHFULNESS.
