Sunday Reflection (July 2, 2023)

Do you trust God or what you perceive to be God’s promises (Genesis 22:1-14)? Do you trust God or what you understand to be God’s blessings? Perhaps we expect plenty of food, clothing, and shelter? Family and friends? A nice job? A nice flow of money? But would we trust God if we lost those things? Likewise, we can become so caught up in a career that we conflate it with God’s will and blessing, but when that career is sidetracked or lost to us, we become disappointed with God. “Do we trust God or God’s promises?”
 
A great part of God’s will is this: To love God with our all, love others, and show mercy. This brings blessings to the world, no matter our career or station in life. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we are led to “trust and obey” as the old hymn goes (“there is no other way”).
