O
God of Isaac. Your Word says "In this you rejoice, even if now for a
little while you have had to suffer various trials, so that the genuineness of
your faith is tested ..." ( I Peter 1:6-7).Thank you Lord for testing our
faith by sending trials and tribulations. You sent Isaac as an alien in the
land of Philistines (Genesis 26:2, 3).Philistines are not godly people, they
are enemies of Israel and being an alien in the land of Philistines is not an
ordinary thing. Isaac don't know about his future and with faith he lived in
Gerar (Gen 26:6) fully trusting your Word (Gen 26:4-5) and obeying your will. O
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, sometimes you will send trials and
tribulations in our life purposefully and you will ask us to go through
unfavourable conditions (like Gerar). Help us to choose faith in you rather
than questioning our plight. Though you sent unfavourable conditions to Isaac,
he reaped a hundred fold blessings (Genesis 26:12) and he prospered more and
more (Gen 26:13). Help us to live like Isaac with faith and to reap 100 fold
blessings. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
