"Imagine what God would trust you with
tomorrow if you trusted Him more today...” (Simon Lawton).Abraham was the start of the nation of Israel. However, when God chose Abraham he was far from perfect. Abraham worshiped other gods but when God called him to leave all he knew Abraham went.
On this journey Abraham learned many things and was given great promises from God. God promised him land, children, and blessing. Abraham had to go through many trials before he received the promised child: Isaac.
Abraham loved Isaac as evident in Genesis 2:2 "Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac" He finally received what he was promised then God said this: "go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you."
Abraham was asked to give up his most precious possession just because God asked him to. Abraham could have said no. It is evident from other passages that Abraham did not always trust God. This was Abraham's final test to see if he would trust Him. Abraham took Isaac and did what God called him to do. He stepped out in faith and trusted that God had a plan to keep the covenant He had with him. Would you be willing to give up your most precious possession for God? That's the kind of faith Abraham had.
So, would you be willing to give up everything for God? Will you trust that God has a plan for your life?
