“Because you have obeyed me and have not withheld even your beloved son . . . I will bless you . . . and through your descendents all the nations of the earth will be blessed – all because you have obeyed me.” (Gen. 22:16-18)
We are blessed these hundreds and hundreds of years later because Abraham chose to obey God, to not withhold from God.
Do we understand that the same spiritual principle continues in motion today?
What will our children, our grandchildren, and future generations receive . . . the blessings of our obedience or the consequences of our withholding from God?
A “Mary heart” . . . one of obedience, willing to lay down its own agenda, its own dreams, its own “Isaac” . . . willing not to withhold anything from God.
