Bible Verse
“’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 withheld from me your son, you only son’.” (Genesis 22:12)
God had told Abraham to take his only son, Isaac and go to the mountain to sacrifice him. We can only imagine what thoughts and feelings that Abraham had during this time. But we can see that Abraham trusted God to provide a substitute for Isaac. Any parent understands the love for their child and can’t even imagine doing what Abraham did. Fortunately for us, we have the whole story and this lesson is a reminder of the sacrifice that God made on our behalf – giving His only son Jesus, to save us from our sins! Is there anything that you might be withholding from God? Or not trusting Him with? When God asks us to give up something for Him, He will bless you in more ways than you could imagine, as He provides for you. Trust Him!
