A Perfect model to Christians
God is a righteous Judge
Psalm 7:11.
In Gerar, Isaac continued to prosper and became a very rich man. So Philistines became jealous of him. They filled in all the wells which the servants of Abraham had dug while he was alive.
Abimelech said to Isaac “Leave our Country, You have become more powerful than We are” (This is a natural phenomena which happen to God’s people when god bless them) So, Isaac set up his camp in the valley of Gerar, and dug once again the wells which had been dug during the time of Abraham and which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham’s death.
Isaac gave the wells the same names that the father had given them. He gave due respect to his father and thereby to God. Today, many children do not consult their parents while naming their children and they name them as they like.
Isaac lived with Shepherds of Gérar. His servants dug two wells one after another and found water. The Shepherds quarreled with them and said that it was their water. Isaac named those wells as “quarrel” and enmity”
He dug another well and there was no dispute. So he named it as freedom. Why God allowed Isaac to hand over the two wells to the shepherds? God elevated him in the land of Philistine when there was a famine in his land. Now, it was his turn to help the down trodden in Gerar who were poor, needy and helpless. God is a righteous Judge. The last well was used by him for sometime and then he moved on to another place. God want us to do good where ever we are and in trying situation too.
