RELINQUISH ALL and God will make you fit for all that he requires of you

Isaac can stand for many things. he represents many gifts of God's grace. Before God gives them our hands are empty. Afterward they are full. Sometimes God reaches out his hand to take ours in fellowship. Then we need an empty hand to put into his. But when we have received his gifts and are nursing them to ourselves, our hands are full and when God puts out his hand we have no empty hand for him. We can dwell on his gifts at the neglect of him. Often we forget that our experience is not for our lifelong use. Our source of life is God, not our experience. We hold onto the experience and forget God is Father. Let go the gift and the experience and hold onto God. Isaac can be done without, but God is eternal.

"Changed into his likeness" by Watchman Nee

Oh how plentiful and great are the gifts of God! How good he is in wanting to lavish blessing upon blessing upon us!


What are the ISAACs in your life?
