In the book of Genesis 22 God instructed Abraham to do what we all could not even imagine. He tested his faith once again by telling him to take his son to a place and offer him to the Lord. Abraham did not sit around and contemplate the request nor did he sit around and debate the instruction. He rose early in the morning after receiving God’s Word and followed with no hesitation.
The Lord is showing us in this passage how vital it is to follow His will and not our own. For if we follow our desires instead of His instruction then it will not only cause us to struggle in life but it could even affect our homes. God has given us His Word to follow and we are to do this with no hesitation! There is no negotiating what He has given and if we try to hold back then honestly how can we ever expect to go forward?
I challenge you today to not hold back what He has placed on your heart! There is nothing worse than contemplating what God has given and allowing Satan to rob us of what we know in our hearts to be true! When we do this then we are not only allowing Satan to hold us back from the promises of the Lord but we are also not trusting in God to get us through…amen
