Scripture Post #1,553: *HOLY RECOGNITION*

 

Genesis 26:28: 

"And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, evenbetwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;"

Context:

Gen. 26:26: "Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army."

V. 27: "And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?"

V. 28: "And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;"

V. 29: "That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou artnow the blessed of the LORD."

V. 30: "And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink."

V. 31: "And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace."

When the world recognizes GOD in and with you, you're on the right track. When the worshippers of others gods recognize *your* GOD, there's room for conversion. This speaks to the greatness of GOD in the lives of His people.
