Contents: Covenant confirmed to Isaac. Isaac’s lapse at Gerar, Isaac as a well digger.

Characters: Isaac, Rebekah, Abimelech, Ahuzzath, Phichol, Esau, Judith.

Conclusion: It is peculiarly comforting to see that God has ever been dealing with men of like passions as we are and patiently bearing with the same failures. When the believer falls, God is still with him.

Key Word: Blessed, Genesis 26:12.

Strong Verses: Genesis 26:2; Genesis 26:24; Genesis 26:25; Genesis 26:28.

Striking Facts: There is a great difference between God’s blessing through Christ and His presence. One cannot always judge of a believer’s spiritual condition by their circumstances, but God has a purpose in all His dealings.

Before the chapter closes, we see Isaac coming into God’s presence as well as His blessing, Genesis 26:24.
