Genesis 22:5-6 – He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you. Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife.
Hebrews 11:19 – Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.
In worship, we bring our Isaac, not our Ishmael. In worship, we offer that which we hold most dear to the one who is worthy of it all. In worship we say, “You can have it all.” When the music ends, our voices may stop but the singing doesn’t actually end. The worship song continues to be sung in how we live. When we worship by offering our whole lives, God will resurrect the dead. He will make a way for his promises to come to pass.
Let’s pray: Heavenly Father, lead me into deeper worship. Let my worship be an offering of my whole life. When the song stops, let my life continue to sing. Let my worship bring life to a new generation. In Jesus’ name, amen.
