Abraham loved God more than his father---he left his father's land and all behind.
He went through so many trials and testings. Doesn't exempt us from further ones.
It's what people give me the hardest saying about: they really don't want to hear
that one more thing has happened in my life or their own life. Don't even tell me
is what the mantra seems to be.
But does Abraham love God more than his precious son, Isaac.
He is about to find out.
Abraham. God calls his name.
"Here I am." What are are you saying to your servant tonight, my Lord?
No one could be prepared for what was about to happen.
Kill your son, Isaac.
God tells Abraham he must have his son, his only son, the son of Sarah.
The son of your laughter. That one.
Yes, the one who is as your own very soul.
Do it in the land of Moriah, a 3-day journey for you to consider your every step.
With no known reason like other trials where the reasoning was seen.
No delay in any way or form on Abraham's part.
He even distanced himself from his own servants not to intercede or intercept.
A holy willfulness with the heaviest heart carried by any known man on earth.
Abraham bound the hands that had reached out to grab him as his daddy.
The hands that folded in prayer with his dad. Abraham bound those hands.
The Sun of Righteousness broke through.
Lay not your own hand upon that son.
The answer: Abraham loved God more than he loved Isaac.
What competes in our heart for the rule of the sovereignty of God?
