Isaac's Work & his father's Wells
Isaac understood that living by faith meant not only that God will bless you, but that He will cause His blessings to abound to you; the one who having faith. And the person receiving those blessings will work hard at living according to God’s will. Isaac’s sowing in the land and digging for these wells of water is meant to be a picture for us of the believer who works hard at seeking and finding God’s richest blessings. “He who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” (Hebrews 11: 6) The believer in Jesus Christ works hard in this way because he knows that it will please God and that he will be rewarded with a rich harvest of blessings to himself and to others that he loves and cares for. The question that I will pose to you this morning is this: How did Isaac, the believer, work hard to find God’s richest blessings?
