Genesis 22

An important step in growth is learning from the challenges and obstacles that you face. God uses those times to test your faithfulness and trust in Him. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it can be hard. For Abraham he must've felt despair and sadness hearing that God wanted him to sacrifice his only son Isaac. Abraham is a man of God though, he obeyed with no doubt. He feared God and wanted to listen and do as He says. It may not be sacrificing your own son, but today God may be calling you to do things that seem impossible or crazy. When those times happen to me I find it so hard to listen and follow because it doesn't seem logical or right. However, what gives us the authority to judge and make these decisions for ourselves? We are tainted by sin and God is a pure, loving, and almighty. Whatever He commands will come to a great, good conclusion that we may not understand... and that's ok. The important thing is to trust Him, have faith, and watch to see how God will use you to help others or even yourselves.
