We’ve felt like Abraham. It feels like hanging on for dear life and ultimately knowing you’re going to be ok. Who you’re hanging on to makes all the difference. It never feels easy but our faith grows. We look back and see that he is a Faithful God true to his word. We keep hanging for dear life.

In reply to Jerralea. Jerralea, it is a breathtaking test. And Abraham passed it with flying colors. Earlier in his walk, he did question God. I believe it was through those questions that he learned to trust Him. So when this test came, he trusted him completely. Faith grows with use. What a comfort that is to me. May my faith grow likes his to the place I trust Him completely.

I also had my attention caught by that Wiersbe quote. I’m going to be thinking about that for quite some time.

I’m so thankful I was never asked to step into Abraham’s sandals! I’ve always been struck by the fact he never once questioned – at least not out loud!

Beautiful, Debbie. Love this line: “Abraham’s grownup faith trusted his Father in the most childlike way. ” I think we misunderstand a child like faith, believing it’s not a mature trust in God. But when we consider grownup faith in a childlike way, it makes perfect sense!

In reply to Michele Morin. Michele, that happened many years ago, and yet his trust in that moment still amazes me. Yes, may I trust my Father like that!

In reply to Barbara Harper. Barbara, you are so right, "it comes back to–trust in a good Father."
