The idols must go

God will bless us with many good items in life. When we receive the blessing then they can become idols in our lives.
There are occasions when God test our hearts. We need to place our blessings to the Lord. People can have a good job but then that job becomes more important than God. Or a person could have a house. That person could honor the house more than God.
Abraham had a child when he was old. The child was an miracle. God was testing him to see if Abraham had any idols.
God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son. It sounds weird but God knew that it wouldn't happen.
Abraham believed in the Lord and he knew that the Lord knew best.
We need to give everything to the Lord and believe that the Lord knows best. We don't have the mind of God but we must seek after him. We need to trust in the Lord and seek the truth.
Only one should be on the throne. His name is God.
Faith requires the belief that God knows best and we must obey.
I wonder why God blesses us with jobs and then we loss them. Or when we have a loved then they are dead the next day but we must keep our eyes on the prize.

 

Hebrews 11:17-19

 

¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, ¹⁸ even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”¹⁹ Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.
