Genesis 27:1-23
People have a tendency to trust in
what they can see, touch, taste, smell, etc. but the one thing God has given us
that can be trusted above our faculties, no matter the situation or the
circumstance, is the eternal Word of God.
I. Isaac Trusted in What He Could See.
· What
you see is not always what you get.
· What
you see is not always what it appears to be.
· Faith
is not blind; it just chooses to see what unbelief never will.
II. Isaac Trusted in What He Could Feel.
· Just
because something feels right doesn’t mean that it is right.
· Feelings
make a great caboose but a horrible engine.
· Even
the most noble of feelings can be wrong.
III. Isaac Trusted in What He Thought.
· What
you think comes from the heart.
· You
do not need to follow your heart, you need to lead it.
· One
of the biggest hindrances to Christian people is preconceived ideas.
IV. The Only Thing Isaac Didn’t Do Was
Trust the Word That He Heard.
· It
is the Word of God that will help keep you from being deceived by what things look
like and feel like.
· Putting
the Word of God into practice will help keep you from deceiving yourself.
· If
you will trust in what you hear from the Word, it will change your perspective
on everything else.
