The Peace of Isaac

"Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there. But the herders of Gerar quarreled with those of Isaac and said, “The water is ours!” Genesis 26:19-20
Do you hear argument’s doorbell? Jealousy causes a groundswell like a sink hole. Antagonists are raising hell over an underground bombshell greed's sordid goal. Contentious opinions foretell what sounds like a solemn death knell. Isaac would bid anger farewell; he'd forgo harm, refuse to yell, showing control. He'd breathe deeply, hot air expel before maddening tempers swell. Like him, extol peacetime; just dig another well; be forgiving. Ring freedom's bell.
