He said, "Take your
dear son Isaac whom you love and go to the land of Moriah. Sacrifice him
there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I'll point out
to you."
God asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son, the son he had been praying and asking God for 100 years. Don't you think that was a bit too much? Honestly it was. but again we see Abraham obeying, he left his house and traveled to that mountain, and was going to do just as God had asked.Now that is really an obedient man, and just as he was going to kill Isaac, God stopped him and said:
"Don't lay a hand on that boy! Don't touch him! Now I know how
fearlessly you fear God; you didn't hesitate to place your son, your
dear son, on the altar for me."
What is your Isaac nowadays? Is it your car, your house, your phone... I don't know, each person has a different Isaac. But be sure, when God asks you to sacrifice your 'Isaac' just do it. And do it with faith, and believe that God will provide. When you put all your trust in God, he will take care of your life, and bless it so much.
And when you sacrifice and ask God for one big thing, don't ask for something small, ask something that is huge, that is impossible for you. Because for God nothing is impossible. Abraham asked God for only one son, but God made Abraham a father of nations.
What is your Isaac?
