Scripture Union Daily Guide 12 June 2022 MESSAGE
It is quite easy to obey God when things are going well for us, but the real test of our obedience comes when things are difficult. There was famine and Isaac was contemplating going to Egypt. What was God’s instruction to him (vs.2‐5)?
Observe how very similar the commands and promises of the Lord to Isaac were to that of his father (12:1‐3). The similarity indicates that God’s dealing with Isaac was just a continuation and reaffirmation of the Abrahamic covenant. Isaac obeyed the Lord (v.6). Notice the result (vs.12‐14)?
The Lord fulfilled his promise to bless Isaac even during the famine. How careful are you in obeying the Lord’s commands, especially when things are difficult, and you are tempted to comprise your stand? V.4b applies to all believers.
Through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (the offspring of Abraham) we become partakes of God’s eternal blessings (John 3:16; 2 Peter 1:3‐4). And though the times are difficult, we can trust that our case will be different because God’s promises in Christ Jesus are YES and AMEN.
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
