BASIC SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 26:1-14
BASIC SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 26:1-14 (KJV)
-
And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
-
And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
-
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
-
And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
-
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
-
And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
-
And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
-
And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
-
And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
-
And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
-
And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
-
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
-
And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
-
For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.

ADDITIONAL REFLECTION
Key Verse: Genesis 26:12 — “Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.”
The Two Famine Responses:
| Abraham (Genesis 12:10) | Isaac (Genesis 26:2) |
|---|---|
| Went down to Egypt | Told not to go to Egypt |
| Almost lost his wife | Almost lost his wife |
| Pharaoh rebuked him | Abimelech rebuked him |
| Left Egypt with goods | Stayed and reaped hundredfold |
Isaac’s Pattern of Fear and Faith:
| Verse | Action | Problem |
|---|---|---|
| Verse 2 | God speaks | Command to stay |
| Verse 7 | Isaac lies | Fear of death |
| Verse 8-10 | Truth exposed | Rebuke from Abimelech |
| Verse 11 | Protection | God uses a pagan king to protect Isaac |
| Verse 12-14 | Blessing | Hundredfold harvest despite fear |
The Hundredfold in a Famine:
-
Normal sowing yields normal harvest.
-
Sowing in famine requires greater faith.
-
The hundredfold came “in the same year” — not after the famine ended.
-
God’s blessing is not dependent on the economy.
The Progression of Isaac’s Greatness:
| Stage | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Blessed by the Lord (verse 12) |
| 2 | Waxed great (verse 13) |
| 3 | Went forward (verse 13) |
| 4 | Grew until very great (verse 13) |
| 5 | Possessions multiplied (verse 14) |
| 6 | Envied by the Philistines (verse 14) |
Question for the Day: Are you in a famine season? Do not go down to Egypt. Stay where God tells you, sow in that land, and expect your hundredfold in the same year.
