Isaac didn't know why he had arguments with Abimelek. Abimelek realized that the God of the Isaac was real. Abimelek was afraid of God, so he asked Isaac to leave his city.
Abimelek wanted to have a peaceful relationship with Isaac because God was with Isaac.
The believer in the Lord needs to honor God. God will bless every follower of his in life.
I have realized that everyone knows there is God. A person who denies the Lord because of sinful heart and not because of facts.
Abimelek was a pagan but he realized that God of the Bible was the true God. He didn't want to face the wrath of the Lord so he made an agreement with Isaac.
I believe that many believers have a defeated life but the believer needs to have victory in this life.
Isaac wasn't a perfect man but he trusted in the Lord. If God begins a mission for someone, then that person will complete that task.
Genesis 26:26-29
26 Meanwhile, Abimelek had come to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his personal adviser and Phicol the commander of his forces. 27 Isaac asked them, “Why have you come to me, since you were hostile to me and sent me away?”
28 They answered, “We saw clearly that the Lord was with you; so we said, ‘There ought to be a sworn agreement between us’—between us and you. Let us make a treaty with you 29 that you will do us no harm, just as we did not harm you but always treated you well and sent you away peacefully. And now you are blessed by the Lord.”
