DO NOT JUMP INTO CONCLUSION

Genesis 26:1-3 KJV
[1] And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. [2] And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: [3] Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;

There are times that the lack of deep research and discovery makes a man see or perceive wrongly. So many people have lost great opportunities just because they refused to look at things deeper than they look. An example is Isaac in this case. He made up his mind to go to Egypt because there was a famine, not looking back to see if there could be a solution around him. It took God to make him change his mind leading to a great harvest and testimony as he planted in that season according to the instructions of God.
Genesis 26:12-14 KJV
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. [13] And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: [14] For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
This is why you must not allow the challenges of others influence you to make decisions like others. Just because others found themselves in a situation that is not pleasant does not mean you will also go through such. Just because the whole city is overwhelmed by a problem does not mean you will fall under that category as well. All you need to do is to remember to go to God who knows more than the eyes can see to catch up with the right conclusion. Never make a conclusion on anything if God has not concluded.
This is the wisdom of Ezekiel when he responded back to God concerning the dry bones.
Ezekiel 37:3-5,7 KJV
And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. [4] Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. [5] Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: [7] So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. the condition of the boners.
Do not allow the perception of men that do not know God or inspired by God to define your conclusion on anything. Never jump into conclusion.
