Genesis 22:1 ...God tested Abraham, and said to him,
"Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
When God called
Abraham, and When he said 'here I am', he had put aside his own self and went
before God with complete surrender and obedience. He was ready to do anything
that God is going to ask him to do. And then when God asked him to sacrifice
his only son as burnt offering, he obeyed without reasoning and questioning
God.
1. God has called you
to do his will and you know that you are called for a purpose. Are you sold out
completely for God's purpose? If you give yourself completely for His calling,
He will use you mightily.
2. God wants you to
bring something that is precious in your sight to His alter. It might be a
relationship or someone or something, just take it to God's alter and do what
He asks you to do.
Genesis 22:5 And Abraham said to his young men, "Stay
here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will
come back to you."
After three days of
Journey Abraham reached the place and he said to his men that he and Isaac will
return back.
How could Isaac return
back since he is the burnt offering?
Abraham trusted God and His promise. God has already told him that through Isaac his descendants will be called. Abraham knew that God's promise will never fail and so he went through that tough situation boldly though he was kept in that situation by God.
3. Situations might
change. Your situation might force you to believe that it's all over. It's not
going to be over and it's never going to be over because God has promised you
that you will live. He will never forsake you and His promises will never fail.
4. Because Abraham
kept his faith upon God, he had not lost his son. Just trust in God. You shall
not lose anything. You will be rewarded by God.
