There are plenty of stories in the Bible that are unbelievable. I don't mean I really don't believe them. More like I have a hard time.....I don't know how to put it. The story of Abraham and his only son Isaac has to be right at the top of the list. Abraham is old as dirt when they finally have a child. Then God tells him to kill his son. Sure it's called an offering but none the less, the boy is going to die. And he never even tries to bargain his way out of it. It's just....You want me to kill my son? Ok when? Tomorrow? OK. And not only kill him, but cut and pack wood for the alter and the fire.
And what the heck is Isaac thinking. Cool dad and I are going on a trip together. Oh we're going to do an offering to God ? Cool, ya wake me up early dad. How long was it till he figured out that he was going to be the lamb ? Ummm dad, didn't you forget something ? And even he doesn't try to bargain his way out. I'm overweight but I'm pretty sure I can out run my dad.
Well I guess it's not that I don't believe. It's that I don't have enough faith to be able to do something like that. I can't even do some of the little things He's been asking me to do.
GOD BLESS
