The sharpened blade of Faith.

At this time in my life I need to trust in the Lord like I never have before. After reading Genesis 22 I have realized my trust in God has been lacking. In the preceding chapters Sarah reflects my attitude better than that of Abraham. When God says he will provide I stand where I think he wont see and snicker to myself. The reality is, God is willing to take care of all our needs if we are to look to him. Even in the case of Sarah, God worked. This was not to accomplish any boasting in Sarah's life but to bring ultimate glory to himself. The faith I need is that of Abraham, A man submissive to the Lord. A great leader who was not afraid to display his faith no matter the manor asked of him. If you think about it the same day the lord asked him to take cold steel to his "man parts" he did so. Not only to himself but to the men around him that were 8 days old or older. The same displays of faith brought him to take a knife to his promised son with the intent to slaughter him. What would this kind of faith look like in 2008?
