So, we have been reading through Genesis and the story of Abraham continues to become more real and hard for me to get my mind around. This is a guy who had some serious issues (I know what that's like) but that God used to lay the foundation for what was ahead. The familiar story of Abraham and Isaac and the calling of Abraham to kill his son has haunted me. I can't imagine the Lord giving me that command and me not have some serious issues. I am sure Abraham was unsure but he believed God, and had the faith to know there was a bigger story. With that said, I have really asked myself if I have that level of faith...what does living a life of faith realistically look like to me...to any of us that have a relationship with Jesus.
It has been neat to see the Lord take captive my heart and thoughts through these chapters. Things are becoming more real and serious to me. The journey has been rich, but not easy. I know it's not His desire for me to proclaim one thing and live another, which is how I feel when I truly start asking hard questions. Jesus asked the disciples to drop everything and follow Him, and they did. Is that the type of faith I have? That is the type of faith that I want to have and am praying for this day. It has just been an overwhelming concept this week and I pray that the Lord will continue to reveal Himself to me as only He can....anyhow, this is it for today! More to come....
