Reading from Genesis 26:1-35 (NLT) ~Isaac Deceives Abimelech, Conflict over Water Rights, Isaac’s Covenant with Abimelech~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. God and Isaac’s relationship becomes more personal. Reminder that all the blessings are coming not because of Isaac’s work or good deeds but because of the goodness of God. Expect the same struggles your parents faced. Repeating the same mistakes. Children learning from our parents. Being surrendered instead of growing hostile.
