Abraham was living comfortably near a well at Beer-Sheba on the edge of the Negev desert at the southern extremity of Canaan. In world’s perception everything was going smooth and perfect but he was tackling the lower mountains, they were preparing him for a greater challenge. The day came, God said, in essence: “Now Abraham, tackle Mt. Moriah. I think you are mature, not lacking anything.”
Think about it : God was not testing Abraham’s reason. No! God was testing Abraham’s willingness to obey without seeing any rationale. Summarizing all the tests is the question with the most value: Would Abraham put God’s desire ahead of his own feelings for his son and obey, even though he could not see the reason? Abraham has watched Isaac grow from being a toddler into a young boy. In Isaac, all the promises of God to Abraham find their focus — blessing and descendants and the land. How can God ask for him now?
Have you experienced or going through a similar situation in your life ? With your carrier, profession, relationships, ministry even your business goodwill and potential which you earned by hard work and sleepless nights efforts of so many years built from scratch to the stage of flourishing. When a Moriah-like test comes, it may take your breath away or cause you to temporarily fall down. If that happens, learn from your failure. Pick yourself up and start walking again.
If God is taking you through this route, as a young business couple , we are sure our master has something unique in His mind for you, far greater than you can imagine, and the preparation for God’s best plan is decided in the everyday events of your life as well as your response to the same. Most of the people miss their significance because they don’t recognize them as part of the God’s plan to prepare them for the Mt. Maturity and Destiny to write the history for touching the generations.
God bless you abundantly and make you a blessing to so many across the globe.
