In Genesis 26 Isaac is forced to move on a number of occasions,water was very important,so wells had been dug, but no sooner this happened,he was forced to move on,and dig another well.Finally after digging another well he was able to settle there, and he declares, /For now the Lord hath made room for us [v22.].There are no second causes in the child of Gods life,so God kept pushing him along,Issac did not resist ,but just kept moving on to that place of Gods choosing.Now of course Isaac did not want to keep moving,but in the end he did, like Isaac we don't want to move on, so often we become comfortable,we have notices on our hearts door,that read,don't disturb. But we have forgotten we are the true travelling people,we are strangers and pilgrims on this earth [Hebrews 11v13],we are looking for a city whose builder and maker is God [Hebrews11v10].We desire a better country, that is ,a heavenly[ Hebrews11 v16],so God keeps pushing us along,and in our folly we build resentment, we only see the instrument,and not the one who is holding the instrument,our sovereign God.We may be pushed from pillar to post,but God is doing the pushing,for Isaac it was to a place of peace,for Joseph ,it was to a place of power and authority,for Abraham it was the promised land.now no one likes to be pushed,but let us all remember it is a loving push, with a loving purpose,from your loving Heavenly Father.
A prayer...../Dear God help us to trust You at all times to see that our times are in times are in Your hands, and that Your way is perfect,in Jesus name Amen /
