/*"Do not be afraid, for I am with you." -- Genesis 26:23*/

Isaac is on the run -- the Philistines are crowding him out of the land, 
filling up his wells, telling him to move on. Isaac, like Abraham before 
him, was ripped off by the inhabitants of the land. They took advantage 
of him, but Isaac kept a level head, and didn't do anything stupid.

Then the LORD appeared to him to put it all in perspective.

Do not be afraid, God says to us. Every command carries a promise, a 
truth meant to be anchored deep inside our hearts. God is here. He wants 
us to understand that His presence will make everything okay.

What does it mean when God is with us? It means that there is some 
purpose to all this running. God would not put us on the run if it 
didn't fulfill a good purpose. It means that God takes note of our 
pursuers and will deal with them. It means that God's plans will unfold, 
even if they seem fragile and weak. They are, in reality, indestructible 
in the hands of God.

Be encouraged!
