Lately, I have had to make very strict decisions
within my walk with Christ. I have come to a place where I no longer can
question rather God is moving or not. So in a sense I am trying to say that I
am striding to have total and complete faith in God and what better way to do
this besides to model my walk to the one of Abraham. Its easy for us compared
to what Abraham ultimately had to endure. The weight of building this great
nation of God’s chosen in a land that God promised, but did not point where to
find. The weight of desperately wanting to be a father and having that
desperation come to life only for God to demand it as a sacrifice. (Genesis 22:1-2 1Some time later God
tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. 2Then
God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the
region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will
show you.”) I can’t help, but to think of God himself actually sacrificing
his one and only son for us and the representation of who God was through
Abraham. He didn’t have the guidance of Christ word and spirit that we do as a GPS, but only faith that God was love and truth. I here men and women say they
could never give up there one and only son. Abraham was pure human living
within the same flesh from the fall as us all and easily would have gave Isaac
back to God. He was not insane, but in love with God and trusted him. He is
truly a hero to me and if I could have a pinch of the faith he had I would be
content, but unfortunately I have loose wires. I was raised in a “YOLO” kind of
culture and it's a job within itself to build barriers between me and the world
so that I can see through the world and into the eyes of Christ. And these
barriers are built from faith and that is why I stride to in vision God the way
Abraham did. I want nothing more than to please the father and to have faith to move
mountains. Amen.
