MY FRIENDS, WE CAN TRUST THE MAN WHO DIED FOR US!!

“But we never can prove the delights of His love Until all on the altar we lay; For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows, Are for them who will trust and obey.” The concept seems so easy to follow “Until we are asked to lay it all at the altar” God told Abraham “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.

So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.” Gen. 22:2-4 (NKJV) My friends, there can be no uncertainty or uneasiness about what God can do for us, so we lay it all before Him, totally depending on the Good Shepard’s guidance.

In addition, we will never have the type of faith that Abraham exemplified in his willingness to Sacrifice “his Son, his only son Isaac, whom He loved with all of his heart and soul, if we don’t have a passion to seek God’s presence daily, until we can personally see the scares in his hands and feet that will forever be a reminder to the redeemed of what he did for our salvation.

“A television program preceding the 1988 Winter Olympics featured blind skiers being trained for slalom skiing, impossible as that sounds. Paired with sighted skiers, the blind skiers were taught on the flats how to make right and left turns. When that was mastered, they were taken to the slalom slope, where their sighted partners skied beside them shouting, “Left!” and “Right!”

As they obeyed the commands, they were able to negotiate the course and cross the finish line, depending solely on the sighted skiers’ word. It was either complete trust or catastrophe.” Trust and faith are identical twins, both demanding an attitude of total confidence, and mental fortitude in what an unseen being that we as Christians call God can do and will do for us in all situations and circumstances of our life.

But if, two words spoken by the three Hebrews who were facing annihilation in a fiery furnace. But if, he doesn’t grant our request that is all right also because whatever He does or whatever amount of time it takes for Him to do it, we must forever “trust and obey, for there is no other way, because our trust in Him, and what he did for us on Calvary tells His chosen it is all for His glory and honor, and for our Salvation.

But Like the blind skiers, if we don’t become familiar with the voice of God who leads us along this Journey we are on today, then it will be a complete catastrophe. I was reading an article about a man who was praying, and what he said struck at the heart of where we need to be at today in our walk with Christ, his words were. “Oh lord I can trust the man who died for me”

My friends I can never stop impressing the importance of study, prayer, focus, faith, trust, love, and endurance as we lay it all at the altar and “trust the man who gave up everything to come to this earth and die so that we may receive life eternal. Remember, “Those who trust in the Lord Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.” (Psalm 125:1)

So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
