(Genesis 26:12-14)
Famine had overtaken the land. There was hunger and devastation everywhere. Those who could, fled to other lands for greener pasture.

But in the midst of such impossible circumstances, one man was asked by God not to leave for God would be his provider. “And Issac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold.” (Genesis 26:12-14)

No way! That cannot happen. Or, could it be that Isaac had some farming hack that no one else had? Maybe he stole from the crops of others. He became rich at the expense of the rest of the people of the land.

Or maybe, God intervened and performed another creative act similar to the Genesis account. But isn’t the universe a closed system? Can matter be created?

Let’s put the questions aside and put our obedience to work. See God show up and bless the work of your hands. I’m not saying that it always works like that. But for Isaac, that’s what happened. He became so wealthy and powerful that they asked him to leave their land as he was becoming too powerful.

That’s an impossible yield.
