FOUR HOUR DRYING COVER THC EARTH Exeter tell us of and same year an huh- tho Lord blessed neither accident nor was plainly God’s Phone 86 til he became very great; for he had possession of flocks and possession of herds, and great store of ser­ vants.’’ He must have made good use of his abundant crops, selling wisely, purchasing cattle, building up his large possessions, till his 'business and staff of workers were enormous. Natural the Phillitines envied him.’’ His father Abraham had been prosperous and wealthy before him, and the wells that Abraham’s ser­ vants had dug had been filled up by the Philistines. Finally the king of the Bhilitisnes, Abimelecli, came to Isaac and asked him to leave the country—“for thou are much might­ ier than we.” Isaac did not protest nor resist; he departed to the val­ ley of Gerar, near by. As he and his men digged again the wells of Water that Abraham had originally sunk he gave them their old names; "he called their names after the names by which liis father called them.” And a name, in those days, always Iliad special significance. Now the Philistines’ envy passed to open enmity and fighting; when Is­ aac’s men would dig a well of spring water the local herdsmen quarrel with them and say: .water is ours.” such tion,” other other tested it, and Isaac named this 'Sit­ hall, ’’hatred.’* He moved on and digged another well, and this time they let him alone. So he named the well Reho­ beth, meaning “enlargement” and said: “For now the Lord hath made room for us and We shall he fruit­ ful in the land.’’ Then he travelled on to Beershe­ ba, where his father Abraham had been long ago. A wonderful thing happened: “And the Lord appeared unto him the samo night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father; fear not, foT I am with thee and Will bless thee and multiply thy ■seed for my sevant Abraham’s sake.” Isaac built an altar there and wor­ shipped Gbd in faith and obedience. Did. lie lose prestige with the men of the country because of his peace­ ableness ? Far from it. Abimelecli and his commandor-in-chief camo to him and begged him to make a covenant or treaty with them pledg­ ing mutual peace and good-will, for, they said: “We saw certainly that the Lord was with thee.” And Isaac acceded to their request. God honors those who honor him. But this was not mere human suc­ cess; the record shows that God had a very direct and large place in it. Isaac as a man of promise—that is, he was a result of God’s own prom­ ise, to’ Abraham, and great things were promised by God concerning his life. Let us go back a little and1 see what preceded Isaac’s exper­ iences as given in this lesson chap­ ter. We find that Isaac himself was a miracle. His very birth was in con­ tradiction of the laws of nature and or’- -human experience. It was brought to pass by God’s sovereign power, superseding natural laws. That is the meaning of miracle; let us not make the common mistake of confusing real miracle with men's scientific discoveries. The discovery and now everyday use of electricity in many ways, the telegraph, tele­ phone, the radio, aeroplanes, tele­ vision—all these are very wonderful but none of them is a miracle. They are the result of men’s discovery of natural resources and laws, and of. men’s ingenious and practical use of these resources and laws. Miracle is something quite different; it is a. result brought to pass by God’s om­ nipotence wholly above or apart from the use of natural law. God had promised Abraham, many years before the 'birth of Isaac, that he should have h. son from whom would come the whole line of prom­ ise; later God said that this son was to be born of Abraham’s wife Sarah. Yet Abraham was a hundred years old, and Sarah was ninety. God kept his, promise, and Isaac was born. There is a wonderful passage about this in the New Testament, in Romans 4, Paul writes, by inspir­ ation of “the faith of Abraham . . . before Him whom he believed, even the dead, Which be Sunday, May 1.—Genesis 26: 12-25.
