In Genesis 26, Isaac’s stability does not come from land ownership, political power, or control over resources. He is a sojourner, repeatedly displaced as wells are taken from him. Yet God’s promise anchors him:
“Do not fear, for I am with you.” (Gen. 26:24)
Isaac’s life is marked by movement, uncertainty, and vulnerability—but also by divine presence.
Hebrews 13 echoes this same foundation when it says:
“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’” (Heb. 13:5)
Common thread: Security is not found in possession or position, but in God’s abiding presence
