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!
BLESSINGS
JOSEPH PRINCE
