[Daily Scripture] Daily Scripture Email – Devotion – Tuesday, 7 January 2014 “This Faith Stuff is not for sissies.”

[Daily Scripture] Daily Scripture Email – Devotion – Tuesday, 7 January 2014 “This Faith Stuff is not for sissies.”
Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah..."  (Genesis 22: 2)
Chapter 22 of Genesis is the story of Abraham and his son Isaac.  It is the ultimate story of Faith and Trust, and God is there all along the way.
I don't believe God would ever ask of you what he asked of Abraham, but I do believe strongly that God will ask you to give up your own life to follow Him; to say, "Here I am, God. I am yours.  I can do this because You created me and You love me, with a love even greater than the love I have for myself; greater and purer and more whole, and so I trust my life into your care.
It's probably the hardest thing in the world any of us will ever do, but it is the single most liberating, wonderful and powerful thing any of us will ever do.  Are you ready?
