Before facing this hard test, Abraham had already experienced a dynamic relationship with the living God, who told him to move his family to a new land. During all circumstances, God always fulfilled His previous promises to Abraham—including giving Abraham and his wife, Sarah, their beloved son, Isaac.
Like Abraham, we have opportunities to believe God—and that includes having faith that He will keep His promises and allowing Him to carry out His will for our lives. As we trust and obey Him, we will experience His peace and contentment regardless of our outward circumstances.
REFLECT: Before making the sacrifice, Abraham told his servant that he and Isaac would come back after worshiping God. How did Abraham know this?
