SIGH.
(Wk 6 Day 2)

Genesis 22:12b
Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.

Romans 12:2b
..but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:12
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

There are things and people in life that we do have to give in order to do the will of God. We ought to continually renew our minds. Our minds is the platform of many things. We can know God's will when our minds are in line with the mind of Christ.

Practical application...
Always look forward to the hope that we have.
Be patient in the trials and sufferings of life.
Never stop praying and be faithful in it.

What do I have to give up? My desires, those that are not at the right time yet. My selfishness. My worries and my concerns.

Lord, please help me in my emotional roller coaster right now. I pray that you will just empower me and continue to speak to me regarding these things in my heart. I pray that you will make it clear to me O Lord what it is that you are telling me - "the son" that I have to give up. I certainly don't want to withhold anything from you. I'm giving you my all and my best. My desires and my heart. Help me to be changed from glory to glory through your mercy and power. In Jesus' name, amen.
