DAY 23: WHY DOES OBEDIENCE BRING OPPOSITION?

What if opposition isn’t proof God left you, but proof the blessing became visible? In Day 23 of Through the Bible in a Year: Walking the Story of God, Dr. Shawn M. Greener teaches Genesis 26:12 to 25, where Isaac obeys God, sows in famine, receives a hundredfold harvest, and immediately faces envy, hostility, and blocked wells.This episode connects the Ancient Near Eastern world of wells, water, survival, inheritance, and covenant future to real people today who are trying to stay faithful under pressure. Isaac’s story reminds us that obedience can be fruitful and contested at the same time. A contested well can still be real water.If you’ve obeyed God and then wondered why life got harder, this message is for you. Don’t confuse opposition with abandonment. Don’t let envy make you bitter. Build the altar. Pitch the tent. Dig the well. Trust the Lord to make room.More resources: https://www.truewordfaithforlife.comThe Bible Rebinder I Mentioned on the Podcast This is one of the three Bibles Melissa of MooseWorks Bible restored for me, beautifully rebound with a rugged new cover and exceptional attention to detail.
