Isaac the Silent Saint

Isaac indeed the promised seed to Abraham and Sarah was given he the son so long they waited fulfillment God spoke from heaven Then Abraham obeyed God at Moriah there he took Isaac as the sacrifice ready with knife in hand to plunder the angel spoke stop before he dies No word spoke from father to son all the way there and all way back what damaging effect on young Isaac through his life this caused such lack On return found his mother died what devastation on this young soul his own sons also effected so much Isaac didn't teach God as his role The results being Esau rejected God Jacob left home having not understood the God that fulfilled the divine promise later the consequences proved God's good So then Isaac the silent saint a life full of promise and despair never achieved what might have been learn lesson well make sure God to share ('By faith Isaac invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau.' Hebrews 11: 20 (ESV) 'He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” Genesis 22: 2 (ESV) 'And Isaac breathed his last, and he died and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.' Genesis 35: 29 )(ESV)
