AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 22:2 God said, "Take now your son, your only son [of promise], whom you love, Isaac, and go to the region of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you." |
Subject: Isaac - Abraham's "only" son? |
Bible Note: Perhaps He doesn't need your "help" but I think He desires something from you! When I read this verse, it reaffirms my conviction that God does it all! When I take matters into my own hands, without relying upon Him, I make a mess. This is a good reminder for me to depend upon Him! (God not only provides the sacrifice; He IS the sacrifice.) What ever God calls me to "offer", He has given . . . it really belongs to Him doesn't it? Yet, He gives me the opportunity to be blessed by obeying Him. Just some thoughts. What might God be calling you to "offer Him"? |
