TOPIC : THE FORCE OF A DETERMINED HUMAN SPIRIT
TEXT GENESIS 26:19-22
And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land
Beloved, there are times that men are truly cast down.
In our world today, men are cast down.
Relationships, including marriages are breaking down because many spouses cannot see the reason to wait for the change to come.
People are under pressure, but those with determined human spirits are winning.
Isaac dug the first well and got water, but the men of Gerar would not let him have it.
They strove with him and they took it.
He went down and dug another one which was also taken.
When he dug the third well, they left him alone.
Thomas Edison failed over nine hundred times in his attempt to invent the bulb that gives us light in our houses.
Beloved, even the Bible said that a good man will fall seven times, and rise up again.
I have discovered that if you refuse to give up, every force opposing you will give way.
This is an irrefutable law of nature.
It will not change.
Realize that this world is for the very bold,
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them our devotionals)
