Meditate On
Then the Lord appeared to him and said: “Do
not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I shall tell you. Dwell in this
land, and I will be with you and bless you…So Isaac dwelt in Gerar.
Genesis 26:2–3, 6
Stay
Put, Trust Jesus And Reap A Hundredfold!
Looking at the cracks that lined the
parched earth, Isaac thought, “This famine is bad. Perhaps I should leave Gerar
and go down to Egypt and plant my crops there.”
But when he looked up, the Lord appeared
and said, “Do not go down to Egypt...Dwell in this land, and I will be with you
and bless you...” So Isaac stayed put in Gerar.
When Isaac had stayed in Gerar for some
time, he “planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold,
because the Lord blessed him.” Do you see that? Despite the severe famine,
Isaac’s crops flourished and he had a most bountiful harvest!
Beloved, stay put where God has called
you—don’t run to the world for help but keep depending on the Lord and His
abounding favor. Don’t give up on God. When your faith is in the One who
multiplied the loaves and fish and who knows everything, you will flourish even
in times of famine!
