Sometimes sacrifices, some of which seem non-sensical, are made because it is the right thing to do.

Not to get too religious for anyone here, but I am reminded of the story of Abraham and Isaac. Isaac was the son promised to Abraham by God. Abraham was even told that Isaac would eventually lead God's people.

And yet Abraham was one day instructed to offer Isaac as a sacrifice to God.

I'm not sure that any of us would do that today - different times, different ways of God speaking to us and working through us.

And Abraham KNEW that God had given him Isaac, and KNEW that God had plans for Isaac...

Even still, Abraham prepared the sacrifice, only to be stopped by God.


I'm not suggesting that God is asking for you to make a sacrifice.


I'm just saying that sometimes we do sacrifice for a bigger reason. Even when that sacrifice seems to be something that makes no sense in the bigger picture.


Sometimes it's just the right thing to do.
