The Bible is full of what many would call difficult stories. Some of them don’t make a lot of sense. Others seem contrary to what we think should happen. One such story is breathtaking if we follow it through. It involves a father trusting God more than his own instincts.2 Corinthians 5:7 says, “For we live by faith, and not by sight.”In Genesis, we read about Abraham being instructed by the Lord to offer his young son Isaac as a sacrifice. As a sacrifice?! Nothing could be more repulsive! Telling a man to kill his own son? Why?We gain a different perspective when we trust God to the end of this story.Climbing a high mountain, Abraham intends to obey God all the way. As he raises a knife over his son, God stops him. God’s compassion hadn’t taken a vacation. He taught Abraham an important lesson about obeying Him no matter what. And in fact, Abraham and Isaac would go on to become two of the greatest men of all time.Learn to trust God—even if you don’t understand.Let’s pray. Lord, your ways can at times be mysterious to us, but you do always want the best for us. God—teach us to trust you. In Jesus’ name, amen.Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.
