So I have no idea why your on my blog, either you just happened on it or your someone I told about it in my excitement of starting a blog but, no matter who you are or why you're reading it welcome! I'm nothing more than your average girl living in the South but, seeing how I'm now a senior in high school i decided to start a blog, I mean really there is no time like the present.
Today I was reading in Genesis in my bible because me and some of my best friends decided that while we are seniors we would embark on a year long journey to read God's word cover to cover and let me just tell you, easier said than done buddy. In the midst of struggling through another chapter of endless names and random places I have never in my life heard of, I came across the story of Abraham. Now Abraham was a really cool dude and God loved him in a real and intense way. Well in Genesis chapter 22 God tests Abraham. He tells him to take his son Isaac up to the top of a mountain and sacrafice him. Now if you're anything like me you're thinking no way! Dude that's Abrahams son, he isn't going to sacrafice him! Well that is where you're wrong my friend. Abraham takes his son up to the top of the mountain and ties him up and is getting ready to kill him when God calls out and tells him to stop he tells Abraham "Do not lay a hand on the boy, do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son" v.12. Okay so WOW! I have to tell you, I have a hard time giving God everything. There are things that I like to take care of alone but, after hearing that how can I with-hold anything from him. He loves me, he is protecting me. I want to fear God as Abraham did. Not in an "I'm terrified of the Lord" way but, In a "My God is the creator of the universe and he is with me" sort of way. I encourage you to read Genesis chapter 22 for yourself and see what Abba will reveal to you through it.
