DAILY READINGS: Ezra 3-4; Daniel 5; Revelation 1

And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. Genesis 22:5

How could Abraham say that he and the lad would return, knowing the intended sacrifice of Isaac? Hebrews 11:17-19, says that Abraham believed that God was able to raise Isaac up, even from the dead. All the promises made to Abraham were to be fulfilled in Isaac, but Abraham had complete faith in God and His purposes. Do we have that same faith as He asks us to step into what seems impossible situations? —David M. McCulloch

By faith we see the hand of God,
In the light of creation's grand design,
In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness;
Who walk by faith and not by sight. —K. & K. Getty & S. Townend
