Are You Ready to Sacrifice In Faith, so that you may Have more?

Hebrews 11 17-19: 17 It was by faith that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice when God was testing him. Abraham, who had received God’s promises, was ready to sacrifice his only. son, Isaac, 18 even though God had told him, “Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted.”19 Abraham reasoned that if Isaac died, God was able to bring him back to life again. And in a sense, Abraham did receive his son back from the dead. 
So God promised Abraham in his old age that he'd have a son, and that by that son He'd become the father of many nations.  Then he asked Him to offer up that same son......what about you?  Are you ready to give up, what seems to matter the most to you, to recieve the promises of God?  Isaac was deeply loved by Abraham, but not more than GOD.   For many of us we have to wrestle with the truth that WE AREN'T THERE!  We love a few things (our children, our spouses, our jobs, or luxuries) mre than GOD...and that can't be, or continue to be.  WE have to make, and put GOD first in our lives, so that when and if we should lose any of the aforementioned.....WE will be alright because we got the greatest gift, Him!  Pictured today is a lush and beautiful garden and mountain view, in Africa.....yes...in Africa....but you'd never experience it, if you wouldn't be willing to give up, the comforts of your home here....
What do you need to give up or move so that GOD is first?  My prayer is that you TRUST GOD and experience the FULLNESS of JOY by making Him First!  It says to LOVE GOD (first) then LOVE PEOPLE! (not a suggesting but rather a commandment)
