Today's Bible message comes to us from Isaiah 65-66....

From anguish....His servants...create...more...lives...and dwell in them...
Who does not live...in them, ...a people blessed,...chidlren doomed...by the Lord...
I will hear...serpent harm...
My throne...for who are humble...who trembles at My Word...
Whoever sacrifices to...who worships an idol...their own ways...trembke at His Word...
From the temple...She goes...delivers a son....to the moment of birth...rejoice...you who love Her...
Be satisfied...in Her overflowing...comforts...
The Lord is coming...to His servants...with His sword...will execute judgment...consecrate..the flesh(earth)...
What they...have seen...will bring them...new heavens...to all mankind...
One New Moon...before Me...
Those who rebelled...worms will eat them...will not be quenched...
Fire burns them...will be loathsome...

Entrust all those you love into His care.  When you cling to loved ones and make them your all, dwelling too closely on them, then you make of them an idol and endanger both yourself and them.  This is what Abraham was doing up to the sacrifice of Isaac.  This is why GOD made him bring Isaac forth to be sacrificed.  Abraham, understandably loved Isaac dearly after Sarai being barren so long.  But he loved Isaac too much, more than GOD.  GOD freed Abraham from this idolatry.  GOD detests idolatry, even in parental love.  NOTHING, NO ONE, comes before GOD.  When you are focused too much on them then you cannot focus on GOD.  When you cling to their hand then you cannot cling to GOD's.  Trust their care unto the hands of GOD.  Now this does not mean ignore your children and loved ones, course not.  You are responsible for their care until they can care for themselves, but do not seek to make it all consuming.  You need to teach them to trust in GOD and to survive on their own.  If you do all for them then you definitely have made them an idol. 

When they reached the place GOD had told them about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it.  He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.  Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.  But the angel of the Lord called out to him from Heaven, "Abraham! Abraham!"  "Here I am," he replied.  "Do not lay a hand on the boy," he said.  "Do not do anything to him.  Now I know that you fear GOD, because you have not witheld from me your son, your only son.".....Genesis 22:9-12

GOD BLESS!  PRAISE JESUS CHRIST!  GOD IS AWESOME!
