Reading for Today: Genesis 25:7-18 and Acts 2:40-47
And it came to pass, after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac.
Genesis 25:11
This is the first time that the Bible specifically mentions that God blessed Isaac. It mentions that Abraham was blessed by God numerous times. If that’s the case, Isaac had to wait over 75 years to receive God’s blessing. It also came after a major tragedy. I don’t like waiting more than a day for God’s blessings, let alone 75 years. And I certainly don’t look forward to major trials in order to receive those blessings. Lord, please give me just a portion of Isaac’s patience and faith.
