Lost Opportunities

I have been studying the life of Abraham this past week. He serves as a great model of obedience. When God asked him to leave his homeland for an unknown destination, he obeyed without hesitation or negotiation. When God asked him to sacrifice his son, Isaac, he once again obeyed without asking “Why?”. I’m not certain that I would have been so obedient. How could Abraham blindly follow God’s instructions, especially when the command was so costly? After all, God was asking for Abraham’s most prized possession: His only son!

Abraham knew from experience that God’s way is always best. He knew from experience that God keeps His promises. He knew from experience that God can be trusted, no matter what! Think about this statement: “Many an opportunity is lost while we deliberate after He has said, MOVE!”

Is God asking you to trust Him in blind obedience today? Is He asking you to do something that might be very costly for you? Is He asking you to surrender your most prized possession as a test of your love for Him? Is He saying to you today, MOVE? Think about the consequences of saying NO. If you fail to obey Him, think about the lost opportunity to watch God show Himself strong in your life today!

Thanks for your prayers. Tomorrow is a big chemo day for me. It is my final treatment in August, and will be the strongest and most toxic of my treatments. I prayed for YOU today! I love you!
