And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering. |

It’s as if God says to Abraham, “I’ve prepared you to do something which may seem unbelievably difficult because I want to show people a picture of My Son. Even though it will be difficult for you, Abraham, your trial will touch multiple millions of people throughout history.”Gang, your Christian life will change radically when it finally sinks in that God does not exist for you. Most believers go through a chunk of time believing God does indeed exist for them. “Bless my marriage. Bless my house. Bless my job. Give me abundant life. Give me joyful days,” we pray, as if God exists for our pleasure.With mountains on either side of them, their backs to the Red Sea, and Pharaoh’s army barreling down on them, Moses cried to the Lord. “Know this, Moses,” He answered, “I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his hosts. . . . And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD.” In other words, “Moses, this isn’t about you or even the people with you. I’ve got work to do. I want to show the Egyptians who I am. To do that, I’m putting you in a tight spot, a tough place. But word will get back to the Egyptians that there is no God like the God of Israel” (see Exodus 14:17–18).So too, God says to us:“I’ve got a big job for you—to let people around you know who I am. This means the doctor may say, ‘It’s cancer.’ This means the business may go under. This means the relationship may not work out, that people might see how in your pain, in your difficulty, or in your dilemma I come through not to solve your problem, but to be with you in your problem. I will show Myself in the way that can most effectively reach the people I want to reach through your life. That may mean you go through real problems physically or that things don’t work out in the way you thought they would in your family. It may even mean death. But it’s not about you. I love you deeply, but there’s a bigger thing happening than your comfort.”Because we exist for God, gang (not the other way around), our part is to say, “However He wants to direct His drama on the stage of my life, be it a comedy or a tragedy, so be it.” | ||
