"God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son" - Genesis 22:8There are moments in the walk of faith when what God asks feels like too much. Too big. Too painful. Too unclear. Abraham stood on a mountain carrying wood and questions, asked to lay down the very son God had promised. Nothing about it made sense. Nothing about it felt easy. Yet he walked forward.That is often how ...  Read More

"And in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice" - Genesis 22:18God does not waste our obedience. It may feel quiet in the moment. It may feel hard. But make no mistake, every act of surrender is planting a seed that leads to blessing. Abraham could have questioned, delayed, or resisted. Instead, he obeyed.

"So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead" - James 2:17It’s easy to say we believe...but it’s much harder to act like it. Real faith does not just sit still and wait for life to change. Real faith steps forward, even when the outcome is unclear. It obeys when it would be safer to stay put.
