I was holding onto him.

Holding tight to the child of promise. Holding tightly to the word he said and the child he provided.

I was waiting to push my son Issac into his destiny.

But God said stop.

Bring Issac no further.

Stop. Take the dagger into your hand.

You see, my Issac, I held him as a baby, I nursed him, I fed him. I held him by the hand and walked gentle steps with him.

And I can’t believe you’re telling me to lay him down and take him no further.

I can’t believe you want me to set down the piece I have worked on, the dedication and time 🕰️ I can’t believe you want me to lay him on the alter and leave him.

But I hear what you are saying.

You want to do something new.

Yes Issac I raised you to this tender age.

But now, here, a new thing will begin.

Here is the line.

From before to today.

Here is the new thing you will do.

From the stop in obedience.

You will do something greater.

Expecting I will await, eager to see the greater.

The promise will be even more incredible than from where you brought us before.

With dagger in hand, 🤚 with my eyes I will close to Issac, I am listening to what seems illogical, I am listening to the words you give me which seems to go against what you have promised.

Test me and see that Issac will be let go.

I will stop Issac in obedience. In trust.

Genesis 22:5

5He said to his servants, ‘Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.’

Abraham trust that Issac would return, maybe 🤔 resurrected?

Genesis 22:12

12‘Do not lay a hand on the boy,’ he said. ‘Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.’

The very thing which God himself promised you, the very thing which God himself gave to you, now you have not withheld it.

Genesis 22:14

14So Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. And to this day it is said, ‘On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.’

God will provide for the thing which he asks to take.

Side note 📝

I wanted to take my previous writings and bring them to here. And finally when I began to do it, I felt God was telling me no. I felt he was telling me that he desires to create something new, a glory from that glory, a 2.0 version.

And this would come with laying down that promise, laying down what he previously provided. Laying down something which held my love, because I believe and I trust, that;

1) He wants to do the new thing

2) He will provide
