The amazing thing that many of you might not have realized is that to Abraham, at the time of sacrifice of his son Isaac, it was not The LORD Who spoke to him, it was an Angel. Let us review right quick what I am speaking about:
God put Abraham to the test.
He called to him, “Abraham!”
“Here I am!” he replied.
Then God said:
“Take your son Isaac, your only one, whom you love,
and go to the land of Moriah. There you shall offer him up as a holocaust on a height that I will point out to you.”

When they came to the place of which God had told him,
Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it.
Then he reached out and took the knife to slaughter his son.
But the LORD’s messenger called to him from heaven,
“Abraham, Abraham!”
“Here I am!” he answered.
“Do not lay your hand on the boy,” said the messenger.
“Do not do the least thing to him. I know now how devoted you are to God, since you did not withhold from me (kind of explains the confusion, it says “me”, in reading we know that Abraham was not witholding from The LORD). YES, we know of examples in The Word were deceased people were raised up:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.gotquestions.org/amp/raised-from-the-dead.html
But here it had not been done yet. Again take time to review the examples and be impressed by the sheer magnificence of The Power of The LORD!

Abraham demonstrated complete obedience to God as he was ready to slay his own beloved son. But at God’s direction an Angel  spoke and told him to stop. As Abraham looked about, he spied a ram caught by its horns in the thicket. So he went and took the ram and offered it up as a holocaust (we might be wondering about this term, we by God’s awesome grace will touch on it) in place of his son.

Again the LORD’s messenger called to Abraham from heaven and said:
“I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you acted as you did in not withholding from me your beloved son, I will bless you abundantly and make your descendants as countless as the stars of the sky and the sands of the seashore; your descendants shall take possession of the gates of their enemies, and in your descendants all the nations of the Earth shall find blessing—
all this because you obeyed my command.”

So many lessons! Listen to your heart, it is the way God speaks to many of us. Yes, He had a willing servant in Moses, but it did not start there. Way before he appeared to Moses, He was represented by a burning bush, the lamd on which Moses was to remove his shoes. The story we can see develop over time.
What is your relationship with God?

16
The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord.
Job 1:21
15
As long as my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils, my lips will not speak falsehood, and my tongue will not utter deceit.
Job 27:3-4
14
He sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
Job 5:11

13
Behold, blessed is the one whom God reproves, therefore despise not the discipline of the Almighty. For he wounds, but he binds up, he shatters, but his hands heal.
Job 5:17-18

12
Then Job answered the Lord and said: I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
Job 42:1-2
11
Job 28:28

10
For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.
Job 19:25

9
Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane? Do you make him leap like the locust? His majestic snorting is terrifying. He paws in the valley and exults in his strength, he goes out to meet the weapons. He laughs at fear and is not dismayed, he does not turn back from the sword. Upon him rattle the quiver, the flashing spear, and the javelin. With fierceness and rage he swallows the ground, he cannot stand still at the sound of the trumpet.
Job 39:19-24

8
Agree with God, and be at peace, thereby good will come to you. Receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
Job 22:21-22

7
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Job 33:4

6
And the Lord said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?
Job 1:8

5
He who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
Job 6:14

4
Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands. Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have made firm the feeble knees.
Job 4:3-4

3
Behold, God is mighty, and does not despise any, he is mighty in strength of understanding.
Job 36:5
2
You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews. You have granted me life and steadfast love, and your care has preserved my spirit.
Job 10:11-12

1
As for me, I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause, who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number
Job 5:8-9

And what have you learned from the Book of Job?

Always work for a cause, not for applause.

Live life to express, not to impress.

Do not strive to make your presence noticed, just make your absence felt.

Nothing in nature lives for itself!

Rivers do not drink their own water; Trees do not eat their own fruits; The sun does not shine for itself; and Flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.

Jesus did not sacrifice for himself!

Living for others is a rule of nature. We were all born to help each other. No matter how difficult the situation you find yourself in, still do good to others.

The greatest mistake any man can make is to lean on his own understanding. Keep trusting the Lord, for He is good!

May He grant you peace, joy and fill you with Agape love.

May The ALL Mighty God supply all your needs according to His boundless riches in Glory, in Jesus’ name, Amen
Amazingly staring at the sun is a quick way to blindness, I was led to share that God made the ☀️ more so there was an individual who fellowshipped with Him, from the ‘burning’ bush, through the Red Sea, on the mountain where the 10 commandments were given…so many times and ways…but when Moses was to see Him, The LORD said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”
Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.” And the
Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. But He said
“you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.” Then The LORD said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.” Exodus 13:17-23
Amazing that he who fellowshipped with The LORD in Spirit could not see Him and live! God is brighter than the sun! He made the sun! It is in His toybox. We are as grains of sand on the beach of life. What defines you? Let us all be defined by and in faith, Amen

I just wanted to share. Be blessed in Jesus’ name, Amen

These things . . . were written for a warning to us.—1 Cor. 10:11.

When the Israelites adopted the sinful ways of the Canaanites, God no longer granted them His protective care. (Judg. 2:1-3, 11-15; Ps. 106:40-43) What a challenge it must have been for God-fearing families to remain loyal to the direction they recieved during those hard years! Nevertheless, the Bible reveals that there were faithful ones, such as Jephthah, Elkanah, Hannah, and Samuel, who were determined to gain God’s approval. (1 Sam. 1:20-28; 2:26) We live in a world where people think and act in ways that are similar to those in ancient Canaan—they glorify sex and violence and promote materialism. God has given us clear warnings—just as He did the Israelites—to safeguard us from such influences. Will we learn from the mistakes of the Israelites? (1 Cor. 10:6-10) We have His-story to guide us. We must strive to remove any trace of Canaanite like thinking from our lives. (Rom. 12:2) Have we been faithful in making an effort to do so?
We learn what had been said many times:
Because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers.
1 Peter 1:16-18
We stand washed clean, in Him we are white as snow- Spotless. Lean on Him, we are here but for a short time. Where we go is determined by our faith, actions and belief; this is all tied in by Love.

Love The Father, love His direction. Love those who despise you, we follow The example. Jesus knew just what would occur, hence His praying: Luke 22:42, Matthew 26:39 to tie this all in:
https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Cup-Of-Suffering

Do we know what is ahead? God knows, reason enough to depend 100% on Him. With each and every temptation, there is a way out- Ask and know it, Amen
1 Corinthians 10:13

We stand redeemed, stand firm:
Stand firm, and you will win life. Luke 21:19

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:58

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.
Do everything in Love.
1 Corinthians 16:13,14

We find ourselves saying this often. Pray that you may receive, seek that you find. Knock and the door shall be opened.
There was a story I read once about a dream; in the story a man went to Heaven and saw many rooms. “What are these?” He asked. “Don’t worry, let us move on,” the Angel said. Wondering, he asked again and he was taken to one of the humongous storage mansions with his name on it.

“Where I will stay,” he thought.
“Open” the Angel said and the door slid open. It was jam packed. In perplexity, the dreamer saw familiar things “Uhh! What is this?,” he asked.
“Your store room,” the Angel answered. It was full of things he had never seen before. Prayers he had thought of but never prayed for. How do you bottle “Joy?” So many bottles! Peace? Stacked up. Bundles of rope which appeared unused. “What are those?” he asked. “Rope for binding your problems. You never asked for…”
“You mean, I could have bound so many issues?” he asked.
“You never asked. What you bind on Earth is bound in Heaven. What you loose on Earth is loosed in Heaven.”
“No, no, no!” the man stated. “You mean those bottles…?”
“Blessings, ready to be poured on you. Just waiting for you to ask.”
“What!” The man said, realizing what he had missed. “Can we go now? Please?” There were so many unopened parcels.

Though he knew he ‘should’ be sad for missing what was ready for him to ask for, he was filled with an inexplicable joy. “The beauty, the peace…” he thought. “I see but cannot be saddened. I should have asked. When I was still on Earth, these things were ready! But the size of that place! All for me? Yet, rather than be sad. I am overflowing with joy,” he thought. “At least, I am here!”

Then he spoke up, “I vaguely remember an accident, why?”

The Angel replied, “that is what occurred, why you are here.”
“But…” the man started to ask…
“Do not ask.”
The man remembered there had been someone with him. “I guess…” he started to think…
“There are individuals waiting to say ‘Welcome!’” as they moved forward.

Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
be merciful to me and answer me.
My heart says of you, “Seek His face!”
Your face, Lord, I will seek. Do not hide Your face from me, do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, God my Savior. Amen
Psalm 27:7-9

Have an awesome day today with much joy at the bountiful plenty we are given and we have.

“Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who Love Him.”
James 1:12

“For the Son of Man is going to come with His Angels in the glory of His Father and then He will repay each person according to what he has done.”
Matthew 16:27

Your face LORD, will I seek. Hide not Thy face far from me; put not Thy servant away in anger: Thou “Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.” Amen
