When there was a famine in his country, Isaac went to the land of the Philistines, to Gerar, where he settled.
The Lord appeared to him, and said to him: « Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you… »(Genesis 26:3)
Isaac having become very rich, the Philistines were envious of him and then began to annoy him:
They caused quarrels over all the water wells he dug and also prevented him from drawing fresh water from a new well he had just dug in the valley of Gerar.
He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth, saying, « Now the LORD has given us room and we will flourish in the land. »(Genesis 26:22)
Because He knew well the blessing and peace that God gives is never accompanied by strife nor mixed with disputes, Isaac always avoided coming into direct confrontation with those who provoked him and preferred instead to keep looking elsewhere where he could dig wells without quarreling until he discovered his Rehoboth.
Like Isaac, we too must continue to seek to discover the Rehoboth of our lives, until the Lord gives it to us.
Once in our Rehoboth, no one can come to disturb us and prevent us from peace.
PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, grant us to discover our Rehoboth.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
