Like Father like Son

Genesis 26

Inspired thots

Isaac is really the 'mirror' image of his father, Abraham.

He followed God in all his ways just like his father.
He was afraid of others killing him over his wife and claimed her to be his sister rather than his wife, just like his father.
He heard and obeyed God just like his father.
He found all the wells his father dug and named them the same just like his father.

Abraham taught Isaac well to find God. Perhaps his 'sacrifice' experience confirmed the god of his father that he set his heart after his father's god.
Isaac is depicted as a quiet and gentle man; not arguing or contending with others. He always move on and let others take the better choice just like his father.

A good parental example is very essential to set the children on the right living path.
