Fear vs. Faith
Isaac moves from fear to faith. He repeats the failure of his father, Abraham, by deceiving the Philistine king, when he was afraid. However, he experienced God’s tremendous and undeserved blessings by becoming wealthy, putting his confidence in God, and finding peace and safety. Abraham was told to go. Isaac was told to stay, and dwell precisely where God wanted him to be. God doesn’t need my retaliation to bring justice, or help His promise along. Isaac’s story presents an example for Jacob that Jacob seems to have missed or ignored. This could be an opportunity to emphasize God’s promises to us.
