The Twists and Turns of Blessings

In this message, we hear the story of Isaac and the blessings that God gives him with water, flocks, herds, and wealth. As a result, Isaac becomes a blessing to others, but not by simply giving of his wealth, water and flocks and herds, but by enduring suffering. It is in the suffering that Isaac proclaims the name of God to others. We are encouraged to follow his example, which points to the example that Jesus gave us in His ministry here on earth.
