Our Sacrifice

It's Sunday morning. Exactly one week before we leave for Milwaukee. I'm frantically trying to get things done. Who knows how long we will be gone. After Seth's first surgery, we were only suppose to be in the hospital for three weeks. Three weeks turned into eight weeks. I'm planning for the worst. I feel anxious. So stressed. I had to stop and be with Him a minute.

I read my little devotional book. That book has been God's means of teaching me some awesome truths in the last couple of years. Today was about Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac. In Genesis 22: 16-18, Abraham's sacrifice of everything he held dear became the beginning of abundant blessing and ultimately Christ himself. Am I not about to lay my only son on the altar, to allow his body to be broken, praying all the while that God woud perform some miracle.

Abraham waited patiently on the Lord for his blessing. Can I not continue to wait on the Lord? He has provided so faithfully for all our needs. Our sacrifice will not be in vain.
