I've just finished reading through the Book of Genesis. I love reading when God started it all!
But this past Sunday, God laid a few things on my heart...
As like every Sunday we headed off to church. This Sunday was different. This Sunday we had Micaiah! He was a first time guest at Seacoast Church at the James Island Campus. The hospitality volunteers were incredible! They didn't miss a beat...one even prayed with Micaiah before the service even started. Everything was great. However, towards the end of our Sr. Pastor's sermon, Micaiah started getting a little fussy and so I headed out of earshot.
As I was standing with him, and getting him to calm, it hit me! How could God send His one and only Son and sacrifice Him? How could He give Him up to die? And for who? You? Then I was reminded of Abraham, who led Isaac to the wilderness to be sacrificed. It was then that I was thinking, Abe you had to be crazy! God, how could you? I am holding my son in my arms and I don't think that I could EVER sacrifice Him! I know there is a lot to be said about Abraham's faith, but it was then that I realized I WANT and NEED FAITH LIKE THAT! So much faith to KNOW that God would protect my son if I was willing to risk his life. Faith that KNOWS that God would protect everything if I am willing to RISK everything. That's my prayer even this evening is that God you would make me trust you more and more and KNOW that if You ask me to do something, You will provide!
On another note, once our worship leader started leading, Micaiah calmed right down! I'm going to have to ask Marshal to record an album just for Micaiah to calm him during some fussy times!
