Prospering in Tough Times. Times are tough but God is still on the throne! Today Prophets Russ and Kitty revisit Genesis 26 when Isaac was facing famine in the promised land. In chapter 26 of Genesis Isaac and his family struggle to deal with a devastating famine in the land.

As a result Isaac prospers against all odds as an example of the reward that is always found on the other side of obedience.
