Made it through my first week of language school! The first few days seemed like such a struggle for me to make it to school. I felt like I had to drag myself out of bed, get dressed and walk to school. I felt such a battle going on inside of me. The only thingI knew to do, was to run was to God, sit at His feet and ask Him to help me fight the battle in front me. Going to language school is taking the next step in making Guatemala my new home and being able to speak in Spanish. It is taking the next step to being able to further the name of God in Guatemala. As the battle raged inside of me, the words once again filled my head that it would just be easier to give up now to go home. But I know Guatemala is where I am called and the words going through my head where just lies form the enemy. God will help me throughand provide for me. All I have to do is just let go; stop trying to control my own life and let God take control.
I was reading in Genesis today about how God provided the sacrifice for Abraham. God asked Abraham to sacrifice His son. Isaac was the promised heir of Abraham. He was the fulfilmentof the promise God made to Abraham to make Him the father of all nations; a promise that his offspring would be as many as the stars in the sky. But yet even with that promise, God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son. God was asking Abraham if he was willing to take the one thing God had given Him, the promise to be the father of all nations, and sacrifice it before him. Abraham surprisingly obeyed God. He took his son and the things need to make a sacrifice to God. And just as he was about to kill Isaac, God stopped Him and provide a bull for him to sacrifice instead.
Are we willing to give up what is most precious to us? Even the promises that God has given us? Are we willing to place it backin His hands to let go of and let God have control of our lives?Even when we don’t know what might happen in the end? Do we trust in God enough to let go and know what He has for us in the end is better than we could ever image? God desires to be our center, our lover, the one that fulfills our empty hearts. He wants to guide you and direct you in this life. He has a dream for all of our lives and He wants to walk with us and fulfill that dream in us. If only we would let go of controlling our lives and let God take over.
