The Great Sacrifice

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?

Decisions

Everyday we make decisions, from what side of the bed to wake up, what clothes we are going to wear, to what route we are going to take to work in the morning. I'm just kidding about the 'what side of the bed to awake', but you get what I mean.

Our lives are made up of decisions that we make, and our lives depend on it. And our life will reflect the decisions that we make, if we are very bad then its because our decisions in the past were bad, and same goes to the good part.

Honestly I have made very bad decisions in the course of my life, now I'm not saying that my life today is very bad, that's not it at all. But I've made decisions that overruled the bad ones. That's what counts, make sure you quickly make good ones to wipe out the bad ones. But of course its better to just make good ones right?

So before you act you have to think... Remember what your mom told you when you were little? "Think before you act." Well she was very smart, because that is very true!

God Bless
