This past Sunday, Pastor Gabe preached about Abraham's faith in our Sunday service. In our High School CE class, we talked about Abraham's faith as mentioned in James 2. This was not planned out beforehand. Perhaps God is trying to say something? Maybe :)
Anyway, the lesson that we learned was that Abraham is someone who lived out His faith. He was willing to literally sacrifice all that was important to Him. This is evidence of his faith in God. The other encouragement for us is to note that Abraham wasn't perfect. There were many times in his life where his faith was weak and when he didn't fully trust God, yet, God still used him and kept His promise to him. Despite Abraham's faithlessness, God is always faithful.
Our challenge to you is for you to really live out your faith. Evaluate what are areas in your life that you are afraid of letting go and give those things up to God. Put yourself in situations where your faith needs to be stretched and remember that God desires to use you regardless of any past failures. Put your faith into action.
