Ch 26 Outline
In this chapter we have, I. Isaac in adversity, by reason of a famine in the land, which, 1. Obliges him to change his quarters (v. 1).
But, 2. God visits him with direction and comfort (v.

3.
He foolishly denies his wife, being in distress and is reproved for it by Abimelech (v.
6–11).
II.
Isaac in prosperity, by the blessing of God upon him (v.

God’s promises are not dependent on our circumstances.
Sometimes reviewing and repeating God’s promises is the best way to find rest.
Our comfort in the covenant is found as we seek to tread in the steps of the obedient.
