6 October 2019 - ENCS

Pastor Joshua spoke from Genesis twenty six and Isaac
The envious Philistines said to go away and not come back
Despite Isaac being mightier, he did as his enemies said
Twice more he dug wells and had to move his homestead
Though per verse seventeen he did what his father did do
But the third time was not a problem per verse twenty two
He named the well Rehobath and there was room to grow
God wants us to be in similar places, this we should know

Thereafter, Isaac went to Beersheba to expand even more
And God appeared and spoke to him per verse twenty four
Saying to fear not, that he would be blessed and multiply
Isaac built an altar, dug a well, and pitched a tent to occupy
Abimelek and aides came to visit, as hostilities would cease
Isaac hosted a feast and instead of arguing, agreed to peace
Josh said that we should always keep the end goal in sight
At times, it really does not matter who was wrong or right

On the day he made peace, water came from the new well
For God often blesses those who bless others, Josh did tell
Insead of letting past wrongs negatively impact relationships
We should allow reconciliation and forgiveness to eclipse
