10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
I can't even imagine how this moment must have felt. Though it says nothing about it their must have been tons of emotions flowing for both Abraham and Isaac. There must have been screaming and weeping as Abraham bound his son then reached for the knife. Probably thinking I cannot believe I'm about to do this, but some how being so connected and faithful to God that he was willing to do it because the instructions were clear.
Not only would I have trouble being faithful enough to execute the instructions, I think I do poorly hearing them but I'm sure He gives me some.
14 So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
Gina and I just exchanged emails last week about how he provides for us. This is small in the grand scheme but a few weeks ago our motorhome generator broke. Then I went to BIR to race and on a single round win made a perfect run and received a special bonus that a vendor pays $2k. A few days later the shop diagnosed the problem for the generator, the bill $1,963.56. Just felt more than a coincidence that he provided me an offset.
He has more than provided for my family.

that's so tru, that God provides. I have had several instances where I felt God nudging me to give something, and then right after, I get some sort of reward, or raise or something. And I know that it was from God. But, then within a week or so, I tend to forget, and turn back to my selfish mindset.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try to live today with the mindset that all I have is his, and listen for his instructions on what to do with it....regardless of how crazy it seems to me. And then tomorrow, I'll try to do it again. One day at a time.
