When There's a Famine in Your Land

"Now there was a famine in the land ..."
~ Genesis 26:1

"And the Lord appeared to him (Isaac) and said, 'Do not go down to Egypt; stay in the land which I shall tell you.'
~ Genesis 26:2

"So he (Isaac) built an altar there, and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants dug a well."
~ Genesis 26:25

Three things Isaac did (in order) in a land where there was a famine, but a land God told him to stay in nonetheless:
  1. Built an altar and called upon the name of the Lord (Worship)
  2. Pitched his tent (Obedience)
  3. Dug a well (Seeking God's Provision)

This is what I've been stewing on for a few days. More to come ...
