ABRAHAM PLANTED A TAMARISK TREE
Genesis 21:22-34Key Verse: 21:33
1. God is with you in everything you do (22-31).
After Abraham sent away Ishmael, the Spirit of God was with him in all he did. Even the Philistine king and commander came to Abraham and treated him with awesome respect. They testified that God was with Abraham in all he did and wanted to establish a treaty with him. Abraham agreed, and then complained about a well that Abimelech's servants had seized. His fear of enemies had melted away. God gave him courage to resolve the matter and to swear an oath of peace with his foe.
2. Abraham planted a tamarisk tree (32-34).
Finally, Abraham had solved his fear problem. He had peace with men. He planted a tamarisk tree and called on the Lord, the Eternal God, who was faithful to him for 25 years and always would be. He remained in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
