I was thinking about this the other day. How did Abraham do it? How could he take that journey? How could he make those preparations? How could he nearly follow through?
This task was a rough one. This calling, an impossibility. And yet, there he was, trusting God as he went. Knowing full well that God would handle the situation, no matter the outcome. God said it and he obeyed. Blindly he obeyed.
I don't think I could. Not yet. Maybe not ever. Not if it were one of my children. Thankfully, only one time in the Bible did God ask for such a task. And he not only asked for it from Abraham, but actually offered it in His own son.
I sit here and I wonder, what are you asking of me Lord? Is it an Isaac? Is it something so big that I have said no and not looked back, not even trusting that you are in control and can handle it. Or will you ask something similar of me someday? Will I be able to handle it then?
Have you? Could you?
