What do I need to change? Should I move? Or?

When someone finds themselves at a crossroads, or walking in endless circles, like the water that finds its way through the path of least resistance, their flesh will also opt for the path that is less stressful and requires less effort.

That's exactly what happened to Isaac, who almost lost his blessing when he decided to move to Egypt, because there, he’d have everything he wanted and in abundance.

However, we’ve had plenty of examples show us that places can’t change people; people are the ones who have the power to change or not that place, depending on what they carry within themselves (mind, intellect) and the actions they take when using their Faith.

So, God was determined to have Isaac stay there and invest in HIM, His power and His promise. If he did, he’d surely overcome that situation and that’s what happened because:
"Then Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him." Genesis 26:12

Why did HE clearly make it evident that it happened in the same year?

Certainly, Isaac planted something that would normally take more than a year to bear fruit, but because of the faith and trust that he manifested in God, by obeying His command and staying in Egypt, he made the impossible, possible and completely changed the story of his life.

We can learn from all this that people need to change their mindset and the direction they’re going, by listening to God’s Voice and not their heart.

May God bless you abundantly!
