The famous story of the sacrifice of Isaac is one that needs to be retold. Abraham was tested by God and asked to offer up Isaac on a mountain that He would show him. Abraham took Isaac to the mount and Isaac asked his father where is the sacrifice? Abraham replied that the Lord will supply it. I don't think Isaac understood that God will supply a goat in the thicket, but instead left his traditions and personal convictions behind and obeyed God. Because he took his son to the point of sacrifice, God delivered the boy and substituted a goat. It was Abrahams being true to God that God revealed something of Himself with Abraham and God also knew that Abraham would obey.
Daily Prayer: Lord, it is not that we desire testing of our faith, but it will surely come. It that hour, deliver us also and strengthen us so that we withstand the test. In Your Holy Name we pray Amen.
