Let the weeks, months and years speak against the moment

Gen 26:26 Abimelech came from Gerar with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol
the commander of his army to see Isaac.
Gen 26:27 So Isaac asked, "Why have you now come to see me, when you were
so unfriendly to me before and made me leave your country?"
Gen 26:28 They answered, "Now we know that the LORD is with you, and we
think that there should be a solemn agreement between us. We want you to
promise
Gen 26:29 that you will not harm us, just as we did not harm you. We were
kind to you and let you go peacefully. Now it is clear that the LORD has
blessed you."

It was as time had passed, that the same people that did not honour Isaac
before, began to give him honour, because they could see that he had been
continually blessed. What is interesting is that the honour he received was
not because of what he had done, but because God's blessing was on him.

Very often we want to put up a big fight to restore a relationship as
quickly as possible, or to clean our name, or to prove that we weren't as
wrong as everyone is making us out to have been. But sometimes it is
necessary to first wait. Just keep walking in integrity. Let God's
blessing rest on your life, and over time, those that are worthy of your
friendship will begin to see His hand on your life, and recognize that maybe
you weren't so wrong, after all.
