The Where of Unknowing
Gen 26:11-22
The Lord has made room for us…
We’re never told that Abraham planted. But Isaac sows and obtains a yield of one hundred fold. Pretty good for a rookie year.
Like with Abraham and Lot, it’s interesting that the pressure of wealth results in separation and isolation. Because of his extraordinary and increasing wealth, Isaac needs to find land. And the land has to have water. He only knows that he’s far enough away the competition when nobody is left to fight over the water.
The ambivalence of unknowing – A dark night for his soul.
But joy comes in the morning.
