Victory Through Faith

“By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.”
Abraham’s faith had a source and an object. His faith made a confession and a commitment. That’s why Abrahams’s faith was severely tested by God. The most difficult test he faced was when God commanded him to sacrifice his son (Genesis 22:1-19). God used this test of obedience to see whether or not, Abraham trusted him fully and whether Abraham in faith, would obediently make everything he had available for God’s use.
Today we each have a choice, to listen to God’s voice when He speaks to us, whether it is through the Bible, Prayer and the Wisdom of Godly people. We need to obey Him faithfully, whether or not, we know the final outcome.
Like Abraham, we have opportunities to believe God and that includes having faith that He will keep his promises and allowing Him to carry out His will for our lives. We must begin to trust and obey Him. This will cause us to experience His peace and contentment regardless of our outward circumstances.
