Lay down your Issac

At the beginig I just wanna say that my english is not as good as I wish it would be, so if you dont like to read it just dont, it is ok. But back to what I wanna write today.

The other day I was reading one article called "Lay down your Issac", yes I stoll the title from there, but I think is cool and I wanna share how it spoke in to my heart, specialy today. The article was written by Laura J.Bagby and here are some things she said.

"I am beginning to understand that there are times when we as Christians are going to be asked to do hard things. Sometimes God needs to test our loyalty to Him and our trust of Him. When you are serious about serving the Lord, He will pinpoint those things in your life that are threatening to take that place of worship that should be reserved for God alone. God is jealous for our affections, He will not take second place in our lives."

And then she continues with her story, how God asked her to lay down her Issac, or just simply said Let go.

After I ve read it I was amazed by it and asking my self does she knows me? Have we met?

No of course not, but I am not the only one who needs to "Lay down their Issac". I think everybody needs to do it.

And God is giving us a perfect example of one "Lay down your Issac" guy or Let go guy, yes Abraham!!!

In Genesis 22 you can read about all of it. I just really love Lauras observations about this passage and how it applies to our lives. So here are some of the things she said about it:

" God didnt explain why at the time , and interestingly, Abraham didnt argue with God."

Not me, I always have something to say about Gods decision.

"Abraham woke up the next morning and got right to doing Gods will."

Ok, so it takes me forever to realize that I am on my own way and not Gods.

" Here is Abraham, asked to do the thing he least desire and likely most dreads, and still his heart is at peace."

I am amazed too!!! I am freeking out everytime when something little harder comes around me.

Yes that is me, but today something amazing happend. I realized that it is my old self, who just answered like that. I have a new identity in Christ, and I need to start Letting God work in me and react throu me and everything, whatever He thinks is good idea to do with me. Yes I know you may ask, you didnt know that?? yes I did, but I gues just in my head and didnt know how to get it into my heart. So finaly today after almost seven years of beeing a Christian I know how does it feel when I truly "Lay down my Issac" or let go. It feels great!!! It realy does!!! I feel freedom, I feel like I can move on and let God fill me with His blessings that were hold back from me, because of my Issac!! I feel happy after long time, happy to be in Gods hands.
