Trusting God

Read Genesis 22:1-19

Wow is all that I can say!!! God tested Abrahams faith. Vs.2 “Take your son, your only son-yes Isaac, whom you love so much- and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.” Vs. 3 “The next morning Abraham got up early. He saddled his donkey and took two of his servants with him, along with his son, Isaac. Then he chopped wood for a fire for a burnt offering and set out to the place God had told him about.”

Vs. 9-10 “When they arrived at the place God had told him to go, Abraham built an altar and arranged the wood on it. Then he tied his son, Isaac, and laid him on the altar on top of the wood. And Abraham picked up the knife to kill his son as a sacrifice.”

           

                    This is not the God that people think of, they don't see God as asking you to go sacrifice your only son but then look at what God did... He loved the world and gave his ONLY son for us (John 3:16) This passage is not only about trusting God but also about believing that God will provide (Yahweh-Yireh: "the Lord will provide")

Some people may not believe that God will and can truly provide but look around and see what you have and that is a symbol of what God has provided. Without God then nothing is possible and we wouldn't have anything. 

                              Today is the first day back for the second semester of college and man has God been showing up and providing and answering prayers (but that is an entire other blog that will be written later on). God has been showing up by conforming what should be done and He has provided me with the opportunity to get a job and has helped in many ways. There is not a ton to say besides the fact that God does hear you and He does provide. Trust Him and do as He tells you and things will work out!!!
