SUPPOSING every other person had run out of Bethlehem–Judea as Elimelech and his household did. The city would have been left desolate. So, you do not need to run out of your matrimonial home to seek asylum in a strange land, which is: with a strange woman or man just because of the nation’s harsh economy or divorce your spouse due to hard times. If both of you can stay together and pray fervently and seek God’s face rather than call it quits, your family shall flourish.

Like a tree that is planted by the side of the river, it prospers now and in the years to come. Jesus is aware of all your circumstances concerning your matrimonial home. We must develop our ability to wait upon God in the time of trouble. In Genesis chapter 26 verses 1-6 “Now there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. And the LORD appeared to him, and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell you. Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you; for to you and to your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will fulfil the oath that I swore to Abraham your father.

I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and will give to your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves: because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. So Isaac dwelt in Gerar.”

Generally speaking, there is temptation for everybody to go elsewhere during famine. Isaac almost fell victim to this temptation. You can imagine Isaac, who was born to Abraham’s wealthy family, the only son of his parents. He inherited all the wealth of his parents. Gen 25:5 “Abraham gave all he had to Isaac.”  Isaac lost everything he had to famine; therefore, he contemplated leaving Gerar for Egypt. It took God’s quick intervention for Isaac to remain in Gerar. Isaac obeyed God and waited for God’s blessing. The amazing thing was that God blessed Isaac so much that he became the envy of the Philistines.

In the same manner, you must wait on the Lord until your change comes. Don’t listen to any carnal suggestion that wants you to solve your problem in an ungodly ways. The God that worked out miracle for Isaac in the land of Gerar is still alive. He will work out your miracles. If only you can wait until He perfects your miracle, it shall be yours Job 14:14 “If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my service I would wait, till my release should come.”

You will not die until your change comes in Jesus name.

God bless you.
