“Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was
childless. The Lord answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became
pregnant” Genesis 25:21 NIV
Isaac was 40 years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of
Bethuel, the Aramaean of Paddanram, and the sister of Laban the
Aramaean.
In the days of Isaac and his beloved wife Rebekah, people around by then
thought after their marriage, situation would be better off. It was not
so as they encountered an impediment. Rebekah has been barren for
twenty years (20) and that was an unpleasant development for them.
Incisively Isaac having noticed the obstacle he prayed to God for a
child. Unlucky in his first attempt of request, God did not respond. It
could happen that God had set a specific day to bring joy to Isaac and
his wife Rebekah.
Isaac was unperturbed and he continued the routine of pleading to God
for a child on behalf of Rebekah for 20 years. Lo and behold within the
20 years of barrenness God gave Isaac and his wife Rebekah twins (Esau
and Jacob). Genesis 25:24. Praise the Lord. Meaning, Isaac was 60 years
when God blessed him two boys.
The secret of Isaac: He had a pressing on spirit. He pressed on in prayer and Jehovah God responded to his plea with twins.
Beloved I don’t know the number of times you might have fallen in
life or haven hit with disappointments. If you are down or not, step up
and press on with prayer, trust, hope and faith in God through Christ
Jesus. No condition is permanent. God has not forsaken you.
Today as you press on in life with prayer, love, faith, trust and
hope in Christ Jesus, is my prayer that God responds to your plea, Amen.
God bless you for reading and sharing.
