No Fear!!
This morning, we helped A & C a little with their move—though A mostly wanted to surprise C with a little party, so there wasn’t much to do. I was able to pack and clean the kitchen while we waited for the timing of the surprise to line up. Then we went to C’s grandmother’s house for a nice BBQ and celebration.
Later, at A & C’s Kingdom Growth Guide meeting, we talked about how God asks us to do things that don’t make sense. I brought up Abraham and Isaac, and someone said:
"His faith surpassed his fear."
Then A pulled out Oswald Chambers' devotional for the day, and wouldn’t you know it—it was all about Abraham’s faith and God purifying it through testing!
April 26 - The Supreme Climb
"Take your son, your dearly loved only son Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah and give him as a burned offering on one of the mountains of which I will give you knowledge." Genesis 22:2
Oswald wrote:
-
Abraham’s faith had to surpass his own understanding.
-
God used the test to purify Abraham’s faith and remove traditional beliefs that misrepresented Him.
-
If we obey God sincerely, He will lead us into deeper knowledge of Himself.
"Abraham was not devoted to his own convictions—he was devoted to God."
And that’s the key, isn’t it?
It’s so easy to hold onto our own understanding of what God is doing, but true faith is trusting Him beyond what makes sense. I feel like I am finally stepping into that place—where my faith in God is surpassing my fear.
Lord, I see what You’re doing.
You are purifying my faith—teaching me to trust You fully, even when I don’t understand.
Thank You, Jesus!
I’ve been dreaming a lot about flying lately.
Last night, I was soaring all over the place, and I actually got to the point where I could control it and fly at will! It felt amazing—so free, so light, so effortless.
I need to look up the meaning of flying in dreams again, but I have a feeling God is showing me something…
Could it be that as I release control and trust Him more, I am experiencing the freedom of faith?
Lord, I don’t want to just trust You—I want to fly with You.
Teach me to live in faith over fear and to walk (or fly!) in the freedom You have for me.
How cool is this journey?!
