Every day you face tests. One of the tests that I give to My beloved is a test to see if they are willing or willful. I gave that test to Abraham when I told him to sacrifice his son, Isaac. Isaac was the son promised to Abraham. I knew Abraham's heart and I knew how he would respond to the test. However, he did not know his own heart.
I try and test your heart for your benefit. You do not know your own heart. However, when the test comes and I ask you to do something that in the natural you know you do not have the strength or even the desire to do, you have two choices - to be willing or willful.
Your flesh will imediately say no to what seems to you an impossible request. However, if you seek Me with all your heart, and are willing to obey my request even when everything in you wants to rebel, quite often I will not require that you follow through with My request. This is what happened when I tested the heart of Abraham.
Do you have a willing heart today? When you give your heart totally over to Me day by day and declare that you are willing to do whatever I desire, I will not have to test your heart very often.
