A seed of craziness was delivered! God fulfilled His 14 years-old-promise to Abraham. Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son, Isaac. God made Sarah laugh! Sarah also make everyone laugh over her. They rejoiced over their own son.
Wait a minute! It doesn't end there. God performed a miracle! It's due to His glory. Will Abraham and Sarah be willingly to wholly give Isaac back to Him? Stay tuned for this one.
After these things [All-Glory-Is-Due-To-Him] tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here am I." [Father-Of-Miracle] said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."
Crazy remains crazy. It's crazy that Isaac's baby dedication was to be the burnt offering. It's crazy that Abraham's offspring, His people, will be servants and afflicted for 400 years in a land that is not theirs. It's crazy that Father, about 1700 years after Isaac, dedicated His One and Only Son to us through His crucifixion. Crazy requires sacrifice. A blessing came with a true sacrifice, a true obedience.
The angel of the Lord said, "because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heavem and as the sand that is on the seashore... because you have obeyed my voice."
Through those what-appears-to-be-cruelsome-dedication, we entered a victory through the spiritual realm. God brought a ram to rescue Isaac, and blessed Abraham's offsprings! God brought Moses to deliver Israel from Egypt, and brought them into the Promise Land! God transformed His Son from a dead-cocoon into a lively-butterfly, and blessed His Son by sending us the Holy Spirit so that we may finish what His Son had begun! We are all moving forward into victory. We forcefully lay hold of the victory as the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing.
Let us crazily dedicate our children, our Baby Siblings, and our possession to All-Glory-Is-Due-To-Him. A true dedication comes from a true obedience, not of our creativity.
