Daily Bible Reading - July 2020 God's Life-Giving Word of Promise

DAY 11 OF 31

  


July 11


Introduction


God tests Abraham by commanding him to sacrifice his son Isaac. Abraham obeys, but Isaac is spared, and God blesses Abraham because he chose to honor and obey God.


Scripture Reading 


Genesis 22:1-19


Today’s Key Verse: Genesis 22:12


[An angel of the LORD said:] “Don’t hurt the boy or do anything to him…. Now I know that you honor and obey God, because you have not kept back your only son from him.”


Reflect


In ancient times, offering a burned sacrifice was a way to worship God. In response to God’s command, Abraham is prepared to offer his son, the child of God’s promise, as a sacrifice to God. To what do you attribute Abraham’s willingness to do what God commanded? Reread verses 17 and 18. What does God promise Abraham? 


Pray


Holy God, whenever I feel that my faith is being tested, I know that I can trust in you. Teach me to be obedient to your will. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.


Prayer Concern

Tomorrow’s Reading
