By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced 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 even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death. (Heb. 11:17-19. NIV)
By faith! What an amazing challenge! To live our lives with the same foundational faith, that sustained life of the patriarch Abraham.
The fundamentals of this type of faith may seem easy.
a. Hear the word of the Lord.
b. Understand your part.
c. Fulfill your responsibility.
However, uncertainty in any area will not allow, the required trust to develop or flourish. Possibly the most difficult area, is hearing the word of the Lord, through the distracting noise of the world.
Lord, help us to be quiet, so we can hear what you are saying. Amen.
