Revelation of the Spirit - # 18 Faith like Abraham

So I've been reading through Hebrews in my devotions and today I came to chapter 11, which if you're familiar with Hebrews, speaks about faith. I was amazed by how many examples there were of mostly men through out the the bible whom God commanded them to do very dangerous and selfless acts, and only through faith obeyed. In verse 17 it talks of Abraham.

"By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had recieved the promises was about to sacrifice his only and only son, 18 even though God has said to him, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned." 19 Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did recieve Isaac back from the death."

So stirred by this passage I went back and read the story of Abraham. Wow was I astonished. Abraham had such faith in God. He obeyed him even when he believed God might take away one of the people he loved most. Talk about surrending all to God.

Tonight my prayer is that I can have an ounce of the faith that Abraham had. My prayer for you is the same.

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
Hebrews 11:1

Lord I pray tonight for one ounce of the faith Abraham had. To just trust you with my future, my hopes, my desires, my entire life. I pray for those who read this blog. That you will give them faith as I ask for.

Blessings to all who read.

Amen.
