BE ENCOURAGED

march 22, 2008 - HAPPY EASTER TO ALL - HE IS RISEN, HE IS RISEN INDEED - I went to church yesterday and had a most blessed time with the Lord. Pastor spoke from Genesis 22: 1-14 of the account of Abraham and Isaac and tied it into the death of Jesus on the cross. Three things he mention, the OBLIGATION, the OBEDIENCE and the ORDER. What faith Abraham had to obey this obligation and order. However, in verse 5, he told his servants to wait and he and the boy would return there after they went over to worship. So Abraham knew they were BOTH coming back there. That is the kind of faith that we need, to know that when God says something, it will always be true, he will fulfill everyone he says he will do. I need this so much, as I struggle with things in my life, too numerous to mention, but God knows and I can dailky give him those struggles and he will take care of them. He reminds us to "Cast all our cares on the Lord, and he will sustain you, he will never let the righteous fall." Psalm 55:22 Talk with you soon, Wendy
