BY FAITH ISAAC

Hebrews 11:20 “By faith Isaac blessed

Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.”

The first hardship was a famine.

Then a second hardship was great financial success.

The third hardship was opposition from other people.

He called this first well “dispute.”

The same thing happened at a second well, so he called it

“opposition”.

He called the third well “Rehoboth” which means “the Lord has made room for us.”

He goes one well further-one well further than he had to go.

Beersheba

When he got there God came to him and reconfirmed that He was going to fulfill the

covenant made to Abraham in the life of Isaac.

Genesis 26:28: “We have certainly seen that the Lord is

with you. So we said, Let there now be an oath between us,

between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you that

you will

do us no harm since we have not touched you, and since we

have don nothing to you but good and have sent you away in peace. You are the blessed

of the Lord.”

Now they had more than enough water because they

had two wells.

Do you remember the importance of Beersheba in

the life of Isaac?

The Lord sends hardships into all our lives.

They come everyone’s way but just in different forms.

God has charted our life’s journey.

Because of that you can know that EVERY hardship

has a purpose.

Maybe someone here today needs a Beersheba

moment-a moment when the Lord

assures you that He iswith you and that He

wants to bring victory into your life.

God fulfilled His promise to Abraham in the life of

Isaac. But it also took the obedience of Isaac to allow God to work His plan out in

his life.

Today we are passing on our legacy of faith to you

graduates.

But God requires you to beobedient so that He can workHis plan out in your life.

Where is God leading you?
