God had promised Abraham that his descendants would be a great nation. This was quite the promise because Abraham’s wife, Sarah, was unable to have children. God blessed them with a miracle by giving them a son, Isaac. But then God put Abraham’s faith to the test: He told Abraham to sacrifice his only son. Abraham obeyed, but God stopped him just in time and provided a ram to sacrifice instead. God always keeps His promises. And Abraham knew that, no matter what, God would make everything turn out alright. The story of Abraham and Isaac is an incredible example of faith in God. Let’s have faith like Abraham.
