Finally
We were saved and became the children of God by faith in Jesus Christ. Since we were saved, we have received the kingdom of God for our inheritance. And by faith in Jesus Christ , we became the children of God. And God granted us the privilege of living such a rich life in this world as the people saved by the grace of God.
So how can we live such a rich life in this land then? Today we will take a look at how the blessing of God came through Abraham and Isaac.
¡°Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold because the Lord blessed him. The man became rich and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy.¡± (Genesis 26:12~13)
It was 500 kilometers from Haran to Canaan. And along the way there was the Euphrates River, a desert land of desolation and peril.
They crossed such a rough road, crossed the sand hill, and finally reached the land of Canaan.
In Genesis Chapter 12, It is described the process of arriving at
Canaan as follows.
¡°Abraham left to go to Canaan and finally entered Canaan. ¡° (Genesis 12:5)
Why would this say the word ¡°finally?¡± I would like to express that the road has finally arrived despite all the difficulties.
¡°Finally¡± is a realistic expression in our lives. The world is getting rougher and the people¡¯s hearts are getting cold.
But even though we¡¯re weak and we¡¯re shaking. So we can reach our goal ¡°in the end¡± by relying on God¡¯s guidance.
The word ¡°finish¡± is very meaningful. The grace and blessings that God gives us can
also be described ¡°finally.¡±
¡°Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold because the Lord blessed him. The man became rich and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy.¡± (Genesis 26:12~13)
Abraham, 75, left the land of Haran to follow God¡¯s call and finally arrived in Canaan. Today, we will take a look at the story of Isaac, the son of Abraham, who ¡°finally¡± became very rich.
Isaac was born to Abraham at the age of 100. God blessed Isaac and finally he became a rich.
Why did Isaac finally become rich?
Isaac was not rich until God blessed him. But he would save a lot by working hard and pray when others were asleep. So he did it for 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, and finally he became very rich. I would have described the process in a single word with the word ¡°finally.¡±
Being a big person or being a big rich person as a Kingdom focused leader is not an accident or an easy thing to do. Through constant effort, perseverance, and a disciplined life, you can finally get to that position. Isaac, too, has done so for a long time and has finally become a rich.
That¡¯s why the word ¡°finally¡± is so meaningful. People try to succeed easily without those years. God blessed Isaac finally after
all years of perseverance. Through his constant efforts, perseverance and moderation, he was able to enjoy the blessings of God.
Isaac¡¯s story should be our own.
