Scripture for today

Genesis 22:5 

Abraham told his two young servants, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I are going over there to worship; then we'll come back to you." (Msg) 

I don't think I will get tired soon  talking about Abraham, he is a man of crazy and radical faith in God.  Remember I shared in the last devotional that Abraham was told to go sacrifice his son Genesis 22:2. Yes he did obey but I want us to look deeply into his obedience. He knew he was told to go and kill his son but he also knew he was coming back with his son. Let's look critically at this Scripture:

Genesis 22:5 Abraham told his two young servants, "Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I are going over there to worship; then we'll come back to you."

If you look closely at his ending statement he said "we will come back". Do you know he knew God wouldn't take his son away from him? He knew they will be back because he believed so much in God's promises made to him.  Let's not forget what God told him that he will make his offspring as sand on the sea shore through Isaac.  So he believed God's very word even when it seemed to be going towards another direction. 

See, what we lack the most as believers is the act of obedience to the word God has spoken. I remember when God told me to leave the unit I was serving in church, I delayed my obedience. I thought I could be diplomatic with God but after years of serving there I knew I had made a huge mistake no to have obeyed.  Once I stepped out in obedience, I left with some scars but he has healed them.  He has led me to a wonderful unit I am so much at peace in and working in purpose.  When God leads you believe his word. Step out in obedience, there is no need questioning it, just pray more about the matter.  In the place of prayer and waiting God through his word, he tells us his mind. 

Prayer: Father, forgive me of every act of disobedience. I declare today that I step out in total obedience to your word.
