A Test of Obedience

Read and Meditate on Today’s Message

Then He said, ‘Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.’ (Genesis 22:2)

 
God tested Abraham’s faith when He asked him to offer his son, Isaac, as a sacrifice.

And he proved that he trusted in His Word, for he obeyed, preparing the altar to offer his only son there, believing that He could resurrect him.

God was very pleased with him and prevented that offering from being carried out, saving him from the pain of losing his son.

We are all tested in some way that requires us to give up or lose something out of love to serve the Most High God.
