“ENTRUST YOUR LOVED ONES TO GOD; release them into HIS protective care. They are much safer with GOD than in your clinging hands. If you let a loved one become an idol in your heart, you endanger that one—as well as yourself. Remember the extreme measures GOD used with Abraham and Isaac. The LORD took Isaac to the very point of death to free Abraham from son-worship. GOD detests idolatry, even in the form of parental love. When you release loved ones to GOD, you are free to cling to HIS hand. As you entrust others into GOD’S care, HE is free to shower blessings on them. GOD’S Presence will go with them wherever they go, and HE will give them rest. This same Presence stays with you, as you relax and place your trust in GOD. Watch to see what HE will do.”
Scripture
When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.” GENESIS 22 : 9 – 12
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. . . . EPHESIANS 3 : 20
The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” EXODUS 33 : 14
Prayer
Prayer: Lord, I release my loved ones to you. You know the ones I tend to hold onto a bit too tight. They are safest in your capable hands, which frees my hand to cling to yours. Thank you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
