Do you feel that your life is being spent as a burnt offering for others? That everything you do is for the benefit of another person or persons, that you have no time to yourself, to dream your own dreams, take care of your own needs pursue your own goals? That others are using you, abusing you, pouring you out as a sacrifice to attain their goals and aims?
As Isaac was being led up the mountain to be sacrificed, he said:
"My father!" And he said: "Here I am, my son," Then he said, "Look, the fire and the
wood but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" And Abraham said, "My son
God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering." Gen. 22:7-8.
"And Abraham called the name of the place "The Lord Will Provide; as it is said to
this day, 'In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided." Gen. 22:14
Thank You, Lord, that this is true to this day. Thank You that we may know that even, as with Isaac, we may feel that we are being sacrified, and we see no lamb to substitute for the sacrifice, if we keep looking to You, then 'In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided'.
