The Lord goes to great lengths to
develop relationships with His people. Our Creator knows us
intimately, and in developing our relationship with Him, will test
and search our hearts to see if we implicitly trust Him. When God
tested Abraham, it was not so much that God needed to know if He
could trust Abraham, but it was Abraham that needed to know who he
was and what he was capable of doing for God. The test wasn't
pleasant but it built Abraham's strength and character and increased
his trust and faith in the Lord. To know God is to love Him,
yourself and others around you. How is your relationship with the
Lord and are you being perfected in His unconditional love? |
