THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

SOMETIMES DISSAPOINTMENTS ARE SIMPLY A TEST

Abraham was seventy-five years old when God promised him “to become a great nation,” then he believed and stood in faith for twenty-five YEARS before the birth of his son, Isaac. You can imagine how he must have felt many years later when God told him to take Isaac to the top of a mountain and SACRAFICE him on an ALTER. Isaac was the fulfillment of Abraham’s DREAM. He didn’t UNDERSTAND it, but he was OBEDIENT. He passed the TRUST test. And just as Abraham was about to follow THROUGH, God spoke today’s Scripture.

There will be TIMES when God asks US to put OUR dream on the altar. Sometimes the closed doors and the disappointments are simply a TEST. God wants to see if we’ll TRUST Him when life doesn’t make SENSE. Will YOU do the right thing when it’s HARD? When you do as ABRAHAM did and pass the TRUST test, God will not only give you the desires of your HEART, He’ll do MORE than you ask or THINK.

Today’s Scripture:

Genesis 22:12, NKJV
