Title: Jehovah Jireh (Genesis 22:1-19)
Content Sometimes we feel like God is asking us to be too heavy. At other times, they may even think that they are making unreasonable demands.
Also in the text, the command to offer up a 100-year-old son Isaac as a burnt offering was very difficult. If he gave such a command to us now, I wondered if there would be anyone like Abraham.
God must have had a reason for doing this. Now, I hope you will be blessed by examining the reason.
1. God wanted to see Abraham's heart to see whether he really obeyed this great command.
However, Abraham threw away all these thoughts and thoughts and decided to give it to God because God asked him to give him the son he had given him. It is really difficult because it is the word of God, but it was a precious thing to have decided to obey. First of all, God was pleased with the heart that he had decided to obey.
2. God decided to see whether Abraham started or departed according to his own time.
There are tens of thousands of resolutions in this world. You don't know how many resolutions are lost without starting to put them into practice. But Abraham set out for practice. They put Isaac on a donkey, prepared a fire, and set off. Even in this respect, Abraham pleased God.
3. God wanted Abraham to see how he was going to draw a conclusion, that is, where he was going to finish.
But in the middle, he bit Isaac. “Father, the fire and the wood are ready, but where are the sheep?” he asked. At that time, Father's heart must have been the only thing. Cabraham had no choice but to be perplexed, but he overcame this well and overcame it. And answer.
"God must have prepared it". Finally, the wood is placed on the foundation and the ears are bound. At that time, Isaac obeyed without any rebellion. When he was bound, put on the altar, and even lifted a sword, God is only looking at him.
At the moment when Abraham lifted his foot and was about to strike him, God said, “It is now,” and replaced the lamb with the lamb he had prepared in advance. Yeohwawa always prepares the necessary things in advance and only wants to see Will's heart and attitude.
As long as our hearts and our attitudes are established right away, please believe that the God of “Yeohwa and Unusuality” will prepare the rest. I hope that you believe and put into practice today and experience God's hand of preparation.
