We’re not always at our strongest, but through our faith, it’s something we can fortify and improve. In today’s episode of Changing, Donald discusses the importance of faith and how we, as followers of God, should be willing to overcome obstacles through our faith.

Abraham was told to sacrifice his only son. 

• In Genesis 22, Abraham leads his son, Isaac, up the mountain to sacrifice him. This experience is profoundly sad, but Abraham knew God would not lead him wrong.
• Not only did Abraham have to trust God, but Isaac had to trust Abraham. Everyone knew the other was doing the right thing. 
• While we aren’t asked to sacrifice children, we make sacrifices every day, from our money and time to our food and willpower. Frequently, we don’t act like Abraham.

We all have times when we feel our sacrifice is too great. 

• Donald remembers questioning how he’d be able to afford his new rent payment when he moved to a new office building. 
• However, he realized if he stepped foot in the dark, the Lord would provide the opportunity he needed.
• Think about how many people the Lord has helped throughout the bible. If he did that for them, he would do those for you.
• If you don’t have sufficient faith to do something, pray. Pray to the Lord for strength to go up the mountain and do what you need.

Whatever situation you’re in, the Lord will provide. He’ll provide what you need if you have faith in him.
