Our Issacs

It was not until Abraham's Issac was lay down on the wood that a provision was sent for the sacrifice. It was not until Abraham had finally given up all his hopes and desires that provision came to him. When Abraham lifted up his hand to slay his only son, it was then that God send him what he needed.

Isn't it true that we are also called to lay down our "Issacs"? First we need to recognize who they are and confess to God their names. They can be your goals, your good name, your house, your money, your security; But they also can be your dreams, your health and or a love one.

When we give them up to God. when we give up our "Issacs" to God, something amazing happen. God is displayed as the greatest treasure in our lives. I am not saying that we should not care about things or that we should depreciate God's blessing. I am saying, we should put God where God belongs, namely, as our greatest treasure.
