Genesis 26:1-14 – How God Leads. How we react to problems and trials reveals a lot about who we are. Isaac was faced with a difficult event in his life. He had the choice to obey God’s voice or to try and deal with the issue in his own way. Like Isaac, we are prone to search for a quick fix or rely on our own abilities when facing trials and hardship. Listen to an insightful message from Pastor David Menard and learn the truth in Genesis 26:1-14 about How God Leads you through trying circumstances.
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit.”
Jeremiah 17:7-8, NKJV https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/jer/17/7-8/s_762007
‘Thus says the LORD: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the LORD. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited.”’

God often speaks in a small, still voice
DO NOT DISMISS GOD WHEN HE SPEAKS
God speaks, but He does not force us
God speaks, but He does not force us
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation, eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.”
