A Tale of Faith - Genesis Chapter 26 Poem

More about A Tale of Faith - Genesis Chapter 26 Poem

In desert lands, where famine reigned,
A story of faith was soon explained,
A man named Isaac, son of old,
Faced trials and tests, as he was told.
God's covenant with Abraham stood,
Promised blessings, firm and good,
But famine struck the promised land,
So Isaac sought a distant sand.
To Egypt's Pharaoh he would flee,
But God said, "No, stay here with me,
Remain in Canaan, don't be swayed,
The covenant will not be delayed."
Isaac obeyed, with faith so strong,
He sowed and reaped, all season long,
His flocks and herds, they multiplied,
As God's blessings could not be denied.
His wealth grew great, his name renowned,
But envy and jealousy soon abound,
The Philistines, they envied his gain,
And stopped his wells, caused him great pain.
Isaac dug new wells, one by one,
But strife and quarrels were not yet done,
He moved away, sought water fresh,
With faith unshaken, he passed the test.
At last, he found a well that flowed,
And God's promise to him was showed,
"I will bless you, Isaac, my son,
As I did for Abraham, the chosen one."
Isaac built an altar there,
In worship and praise, he did declare,
God's faithfulness, through trials so dire,
His unwavering, steadfast desire.
Genesis Chapter 26, a tale of faith,
How Isaac trusted, without wraith,
With God's guidance, he stood strong,
And witnessed blessings all life long.
