What Are You Waiting For?Posted Oct-17-07 05:42:52 PDT By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, even though God had said to him, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned." Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death.
Hebrews 11:17-19
Abraham was willing to give up his son when God commanded him to do so. God did not let Abraham take Isaac's life, because God had given the command in order to test Abraham's faith. Instead of taking Abraham's son, God gave Abraham a whole nation of descendents through Isaac. If you are afraid to trust God with your most prized possession, dream, or person, pay attention to Abraham's example. Because Abraham was willing to give up everything for God, he received back more than he could possibly have imagined. What we receive, however, is not always immediate, or in the form of what we hoped for. Material things should be among the least satisfying of rewards. Our best and greatest rewards await us in eternity. What are you waiting for?
God Bless you,
