Throughout life there will be a time and a place when we
have to decide if we’re all in or if we’re going to fold. In Genesis 22:1 “God tested Abraham” when He commanded
him to sacrifice his son, Isaac. With
all that Abraham had been through in his life, it could’ve been easy for him to
fold and say “I’ve done enough. God
knows my heart.” But like any student
that has taken weeks of classes only to have the whole grade depend on a final
exam, our life experiences are the preparation for the test. We still have to take the exam. While God’s preparations throughout his life
taught Abraham how to hear God, how to trust, and how to go all in for God,
Abraham still had to take the test. Our
lives are no different. We’ll go through
plenty of ups and downs which will seem trying but God will still provide a
final exam. The way to pass the test is
through consistent prayer and scripture reading. Learning His voice and His word, being able
to know Him on an intimate level and know that He’s watching over us like he
watched Abraham is the key to success. The
only way we can make the grade and receive our reward is to pass the test. The blessing is, this test is Open Book.
