Milestones

By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.” — Hebrews 11:17-18

Those who become people of great faith often had past moments when they encountered the power of God in directly personal ways. In the Bible we see how the lives of people are radically transformed by a simple encounter with God, and how that encounter propelled them into their future. What milestones have been placed in your past? What milestones are you laying now?
