FAITH CAPSULE: Lifting eyes to God is asking from God.

Genesis 22

Having faith prompts lifting eyes to God.
Lifting eyes to God is asking from God.
One faith will please God.
If faith is the way to please God, without faith displeases God.
Hebrews 11:6 buttresses, “But without faith it is impossible to please him…”
Psalmist asked God, “I will lift my eyes to the hills—from whence comes my help?” (Psalm 121:1)
Where or to whom have you been lifting your eyes?
In this wicked time, there is every reason, every moment lifting eyes to God by asking for direction.
Getting direction from God is certain to arrive at the destination and not become a victim of the evil agenda of this wicked world.
Lifting eyes to God is to move in the direction of the divine assignment of God.
Abraham was asking God by lifting his eyes to God.
He lifted his eyes in the direction when there was a need for support from above.
Indeed, it is an act of faith to know that lifting to God will enable one not to miss the blessing of God.
For Abraham, he walked past the ram that was in place for the sacrifice.
Genesis 22:13, “Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.”
Abraham walked past a ram available for his burnt offering instead of his son.
One lifting to God is the reason for not expecting help from another source.
Lifting eyes to God demonstrates the love and the fear of God.
In the life journey, who are you looking up to?
From the depth of your heart, allow God to be the only God to look up to.
The love of Abraham for God means his fear of God.
Abraham served God with all his heart, with all his soul.
God asked for the son of Abraham, his only son, and his love for burnt offerings.
Abraham could not withhold his son from the request of God.
As Abraham was about to use his son Isaac as a burnt offering to God, he heard from God stating, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now, I know that you fear God since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” (Genesis 22:12)
God discerns the heart; He knows all heart, and all the heart is in His hands.
In the journey of this wicked world, make it your way of life to be lifting eyes to God and ask for direction.
Abraham had uncommon testimonies because he walked with God for direction.
Give it all to God by looking up to Him.

Prayer for today: Ask that lifting your eyes to God for direction shall be your way of life.
