Question: In which book do we find the story of the birth of Isaac?
Answer: Genesis (Genesis 21:1-8)
Comments: After nine chapters of build up awaiting the child of promise, the birth of Isaac is granted only eight verses in Scripture. It seems anticlimactic, almost an afterthought. This is how most of us experience life - the trials seem to drag on and time does indeed fly when you are having fun. Abraham’s long wait reminds us that if we are in the midst of a seemingly interminable wait, it may very well be as much a part of God’s plan as the joyous climax we await.
