Grace for your spirit
Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here am I." And He said, "Take now your son, your only son, whom you have, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering. Genesis 22:1-2
Ever since God called Abraham to leave his home and take is family to an unknown location, Abraham had struggled with his faith. Time and time again Abraham heard God's promises, questioned God's promises, and saw them fulfilled. Each test was a building block constructing Abraham's faith, and making him the father of the faithful. Now God sees His patience fulfilled. He once again asks Abraham to do something completely out of his reality, and Abraham said, Here am I. To kill and sacrifice the son of promise seems bazaar, but Abraham doesn't hesitate or complain. He now understands walking by faith, and reasons that God will make it all work out for good. It does work out and Abraham passes his most difficult test. May we learn from every challenge, even when we fail miserably. God is still building us, and constructing a disciple that will be able to pass the tests to come.
