And Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. The LORD blessed him, and the man became rich, and gained more and more until he became very wealthy. Genesis 26:12-13

Isaac labored and became wealthy, but the Bible makes it clear that the Lord was the source of his wealth. God blessed Isaac abundantly. And while it was necessary for Isaac to sow and reap, the gain came from the Lord.

When I work hard and things go well, I need to remember the blessing, the abundance, comes from the Lord. Having already finished reading Job, I know that hard circumstances and rich blessings are both under the wise providence of God. He knows what I need and, even more, He knows what brings Him glory.

In times of blessing, give thanks to God. In times of struggle, give thanks to God.
