FAITH CAPSULE: Direction is in the word of God not to fail.

Genesis 26:1-33

In these coming days, live by the direction in the word of God. Learn from Isaac to know that enemies shall be at peace with you in all endeavors of life. 
Genesis 26:1-3 records, “There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, in Gerar. Then the Lord appeared to him and said: “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I shall tell you. 3 Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.” 
God communicated with Isaac. 
In the time of famine, God commanded Isaac to stay put. 
Often time, when the word of God for direction sounds impossible to one, hearing and giving self to the command of God leads to disobedience. 
In the time of Isaac, the word of God with the direction was received obediently by Isaac. 
God directed Isaac to stay in Gerar.
In famine time, having a well for sustenance becomes unarguably necessary. 
Isaac repeatedly ran into a confrontation over the digging of wells. 
He knew well that his part of the world could not have survived without wells. 
However, every effort by Isaac and his servants to have a productive life made them dig wells. 
At Gerar, the peace of Isaac, his servants were troubled repeatedly for wells dug by the servants of Isaac. 
Isaac avoids challenges moving from the spot of challenges but obediently obeys the command of God to remain in Gerar.
Just like Isaac, are you facing a challenge wanting to offset you from obeying the direction of God?
In your challenge, allow the direction of God to provoke your victory over enemies of your life.
One with the character of giving self to the direction in the word God shall experience celebration instead of frustration, shall become elevated with favor, stagnation will be converted to motion, to excel for the glory of God.
The obedience of Isaac before God was in line with walking with God. 
Isaac focused on the direction of God, for him not to become a victim of the enemies of his life.
Isaac is a testimony of one that gives self obediently to the word of God, ignoring the challenges of his world.
Isaac pleased God in the journey of his life.
Proverbs 16:7 confirms the evidence that God expects obedience to His direction to experience His backing in endeavors stating, “When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies be at peace with him.” 
The early hostility and disagreement of the people of Gerar towards Isaac turned to peace for Isaac.  
Walking in the direction in the word of God shall experience the promises of God over your life.

Prayer for today: Ask that you shall live life in obedience to God and not become distracted by the challenges of life.
