Abraham had such faith that he follows Your command and brings Isaac, the son he waited 100 years for, to the mountain to sacrifice him. Father it is an amazing testimony. And it points directly back to our lives. What am I willing to give up for You? Are there people or things that I cling to tighter than I cling to You? From time to time other things do get in the way. I get distracted and I remove You from the prominent position in my life. You could not watch Abraham kill his son and You stopped him, providing a ram. All the while You knew that You would have to watch Your own son Jesus die as a sacrifice for all. What was too great a burden to be placed on man, You took for Yourself. You did that for us. Your son died on the cross for me. I pray Lord that You continue to grow me in faith and relationship with You. That I would have the faith of Abraham where truly nothing is more sacred than You. Lord that I could lead and encourage others by the solid relationship I have with You. That Your kingdom would be multiplied on earth even while I am still here.
for You bridged the gap we couldn't cross
