When Isaac found out that his wife could not have children, he did what any good husband would do, he prayed for his wife. God answered his prayer, and Rebekah became pregnant with twins. In verse twenty of this chapter, it tells us that Isaac was forty when he married Rebekah. He was sixty when she gave birth to their children, so it could have been a twenty-year period between the time that Isaac prayed and the birth of his children. Many times, people give up when the answer to their prayer doesn’t come at the time that they think it should, but Isaac persisted and held on.
We must persist, and we must continue to stand when it comes to receiving an answer to our prayers. Sometimes, God is dealing with people and it could take some time before they submit to and obey God. Sometimes the enemy may be trying to hinder the answer the way he tried to hinder Daniel (Daniel 10). Whatever the reason may be, we must allow patience to do a perfect work in us, and we must stand on the integrity of God’s Word. If you have been standing for a while, continue to stand. God will never let us down if we continue to put our faith and our trust in Him. Remember, we walk by faith and not by sight.
