—Genesis 22:9-19
by: Kennedy Ochs.
The focus of these verses is often on the incredible sacrifice that Abraham was willing to make. He was ready to give up his son, just because God asked him to do so. It is an amazing example of obedience and faith. But it is important not to miss what God did as well. He provided just what Abraham needed. He had a ram there, ready for Abraham at the very moment he needed it. And this is what God does for us every day. He gives us just what we need, exactly when we need it. Even when it does not make sense to us, we can trust, as Abraham did, that God will provide.
