THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

GOD IS FAITHFUL AND, IN THE END, YOU WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH

During a great famine in the land, Isaac was about to move to Egypt, but God said, “Stay where you ARE. My FAVOR is on you right HERE among the Philistines.” So DESPITE the famine, Isaac planted his grain fields. The Philistines were ALREADY jealous of him, and his planting in dry, hard soil added to their RIDICULE of him. But Isaac stayed in peace. Several months later, his critics were AMAZED to see his hundredfold harvest.

At SOME point, you may be tempted to run from a situation where you face ridicule and opposition, but you do not have to leave in order to be BLESSED. God wants to bless you right where you ARE. Part of His vindication is PROMOTING you so the opposition can SEE it. Your attitude should be: “They may be laughing NOW, but this challenge is preparing the way for God to PROMOTE me!” God is FAITFUL. In the end, YOU will have the last LAUGH.

Today’s Scripture

Genesis 26:12, NLT

When Isaac planted his crops that year, he harvested a hundred times more grain than he planted, for the LORD blessed him.
