Let go!
Let go!
We’ve probably all had those deep and powerful moments when we feel ready to give everything to God. 🙌🏻
Maybe during a church service after a powerful message, or maybe during your quiet time with God.
And out of pure love and conviction, you suddenly cry out: “Oh Lord, what do You want from me? What are You asking of me?”
You know what’s so crazy?
No matter how deep that moment may be, just a little while later, our minds are already somewhere else:
“Hm… I wonder what’s for dinner today…” 🤭
Abraham also had a deep encounter with God. In fact, Scripture says: “The Lord appeared to him.” (Genesis 18:1, ESV) And he received a clear promise: “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” (Genesis 18:10, NIV)
Years later, God tells Abraham to go take his son and sacrifice him. Yep, you read that right! So, “early the next morning Abraham got up...” (see Genesis 22:2-3)
And he set out. He didn’t hesitate. Just imagine that! After the Lord told Him to do something like that, Abraham obeyed.
God actually answers your question: “Lord, what do You want from me?”
And based on that answer, you build a business, start a family, or whatever else God asks of you. And then one day God says:
“Let it go. Release your children. Place your business into other hands.” 😲
➡️ Would YOU act on what God asks of you the very next morning?
I think most of us would first come up with a long list of objections…
But Abraham let go, and received MORE in return! He received the full blessing of God for His obedience. We read about how God told Abraham not to lay a hand on his son, but to sacrifice a ram instead (see Genesis 22:12-14).
He got his son back and became the father of many nations!
Letting go means allowing God to move and watching an indescribable blessing come back to you.
Do you believe that today?
Will you choose to let go immediately and let God be God?
You are a miracle!

What does holy living look like?
According to the teachings in the New Testament, it’s living in accordance with God’s Word. Holiness means saying “no” to wrong actions, and seeking forgiveness when we do make mistakes. It looks like putting aside any selfish interests in order to pursue the good plans God has for the world.
The writer of the letter to the Hebrews understood that this wasn’t easy, so he encouraged his readers to “run with perseverance” while stripping off anything that might slow them down or trip them up (Hebrews 12:1-2).
The author of Hebrews then encourages his readers to be holy, to live according to God’s commands and ways. Holiness gives others a window to see God in our lives. It also gives us the opportunity to love others the way Jesus would love them. As we pursue a relationship with God, the way we interact with people should change.
The author of Hebrews describes God as the God of peace (Hebrews 13:20). If our desire is to obey God and be like Him, then we should make every effort to live in peace with everyone.
When we live with anger or bitterness toward others, we’re unable to show them the love of Jesus. A love that sets us apart and shows off God’s glory.
Living at peace with people does not mean that we have to love everyone the same way or blindly accept misconduct. But, it does mean that we make an effort wherever possible to generously seek wholeness, reconciliation, and forgiveness—actions that lead to peace.
Take a moment today to consider your relationships with others. Are your relationships marked by anger or bitterness, or are you living at peace with others? If there is someone in your life you have not forgiven, make an effort to begin to make things right. Consider how you can live a life that aligns with God’s Word, so that others can see God working within you.
“Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.” Hebrews 12:14 ESV
“Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.”
