Obedience, One That Blessed All Mankind
Genesis 22:4-5
In verses 4-5 we are told, “Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off. And Abraham said to his young men, ‘Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you.’” What a statement of faith that was. Is it any wonder Abraham became the father of all of them that believe! Hedeclared by faith that he and Isaac would return from the sacrifice. Have you made any sacrifice in all of your life that is significant enough to bless all mankind? What must Isaac have been thinking since he wascarrying the wood upon which he was about to be sacrificed? Is this a future picture of Christ walking in obedience?
And trusting his father? Who has the greater agony, the father who knows what is coming or the son who may suspect but chooses to obey? This was truly a family nightmare but because of obedience, one that blessed all mankind! Are you making any effort to see the world saved?
- The Lion of Judah roars as we worship Him. He inhabits our praises and comes to our rescue as we praise Him. Every time you praise the Lord His voice will: –
- Release power to calm the troubled waters of our lives.
- Power to decipher impossible situations so we can pass through.
- Expose hidden agendas of darkness and splinter them as it does the cedars of Lebanon.
- Cause every mountain-like situation that hinders progress to scamper away before us.
- Cause the deserts and barren situations to be shaken and bear fruits.
- Cause us to bring forth His purposes in this season.
- Raise up a standard against every enemy flood – as the Lord sits on the flood as King forever.
