Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa

This passage…🤔

Those who have experienced God will understand.

Or, those who have seen the results of prayer will understand.

…In the Bible, I think the person who suffered greatly😱 was Abraham…
…In Genesis 22:2…

God gave Abraham the following command:
"Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah and offer him as a burnt offering on the mountain I will show you."
…The Bible doesn't describe Abraham's inner thoughts, but for Abraham, it was the greatest "trial" he could have faced😭.
…We don't know how much time passed…
Ultimately…God is always the God who does what is best,
and He never does anything without meaning❗️
…Perhaps he came to this decision, remembering the many blessings and graces He had bestowed upon him…🤔.
…Everyone experiences times of great distress in their lives.

The blessing of a Christian is... knowing that God is with us and that He is the God who answers us when we pray❗️.

...No one knows what the future holds.

However,
When I believe that God is the God who will do His best for us,
the way will surely open up.

...Let us give thanks for God's protection this past week,
and give glory to God on Sunday❗️
Shalom 😃
