December 6
Abram, now called Abraham, had the son he’d always wanted. And this son, Isaac, was promised to be the son through whom God’s promise would be fulfilled. Only God put Abraham to the test again by asking him to sacrifice Isaac. Can you imagine being asked to give up the one thing you love the most? Yet God never asks his people to do anything he wouldn’t do for them.
Abraham trusted that God would provide a way for his precious son to live.
And God did. He provided a ram to be sacrificed in place of Isaac. And the promise lived on.

Today’s Bible Verse – Genesis 22:7-8
Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, "Father?" "Yes, my son?" Abraham replied. "The fire and wood are here," Isaac said, "but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son."
