Same story, always points to Him (Jesus)

I'm currently in a Genesis Bible study and the story of Abraham and Isaac is so powerful. For those of you who haven't read it, read it now.  The story basically takes you through Abraham's life, showing time and time again how God wanted to show Abraham his own faith.  God knew Abraham had the faith, he just needed to confirm it for himself.


Have you ever had those days when you're trusting God with your plans, your life, and nothing is happening?  But then there are times when your faith is tested and you fully trust God to take control.  You know in your heart that you, yourself do not have the power to change this situation or control the other person.  Then, something miraculous happens!  God does what He says He will do!  


This happens time and time again in scripture, and it begins as early as Genesis.  You see, if you read the scripture below where Abraham trusts God so much that he was willing to kill/offer his son, knowing that God had already promised Abraham's seed to multiply the nations.


This is the faith we all need today.  Trust God with the little things.  Trust God with the hard things.  God never fails.  His promises are forever.


It's the same story told throughout the Bible, and it always points to Jesus and his life, death and resurrection.


Genesis 22:2 - "Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, whom you love - Isaac - and go to the region of Moriah.  Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you."
