Isaiah and St. Patrick

Upon reading about Isaiah I couldn't help but draw parallels to St. Patrick. This could be because I'm sitting here listening to Celtic step music in an Irish flag shirt, or it could just genuinely be because of the similaritites. Both of these men left everything to follow the call God placed on their life. They also both gained faith strength in the demise of their beloved countries. Like I said in one of my previous posts, St. Patrick fully relied on God for everything. You can see this same kind of dedication in the life of Isaiah. They both hit rough patches but did not complain or become bitter with God. Instead they held fast to the hope they profess and believed in nothing else but the ever lasting God.
