I once heard and continually remember that, when we look back at the mosaic of our lives, from a supernatural perspective, when we see how perfectly faithul God was in guiding and crafting everything together, we will be totally amazed!! That helps me to trust and obey in the current moment. <br /><br />Congrats on your 10th anniversary1!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659010623987445060.post-9971955545554614402011-06-08T09:58:45.621-04:002011-06-08T09:58:45.621-04:00Amazing. Must be a ‘God thing!’ God has used this ...Amazing. Must be a ‘God thing!’ God has used this story from scripture a couple of times in my life. Both were involving significant relationships. In fact, ‘as it happens’, I was just telling a friend of mine last Saturday how God used him to impart wisdom and a word from God to me from this very account of Abraham’s life. The jist of that story was, I was dating a girl whom I thought would be my wife but we came into a gigantic roadblock. I told my friend Dave, “Dave, I have put Debbie (the girl I was dating at the time) on the altar and I am ready to sacrifice her (the relationship) if needed”. Dave wisely responded, “Ok bro. Now keep coming down with the knife, until God tells you to stop”. Wow. I never thought about that. Guess what. God didn’t say stop and very painfully, we went our separate ways. <br /><br />The second time this scripture was profoundly used was the day I got engaged to my beautiful wife Hazel. Check this out: TODAY IS OUR 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!! Again, today’s BGO must be a God thing’! The day we got engaged, the reading from Our Daily Bread was on Abraham and his willingness to sacrifice Isaac? I thought, surely God, not this one. Guess what. Long story short thru some very adverse circumstances, Hazel (and her father) came to my house a few months later and gave me my engagement ring back! Ouch!!! But this time, God restored it and as mentioned, we’ve been married for 10 years today! <br /><br />Trust God. He always has your best interest in mind, even if sometimes he doesn’t say stop when you think he should.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
