2 Kings 19:1-37; Jeremiah 52:1-34; 1 Timothy 3:1-16
Because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son…I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand…upon the sea shore. Genesis 22:16-17
When God asked, Abraham was willing to give up Isaac, the son of promise, the son whom he so dearly loved. This great man of faith believed God when he didn’t know why. In response to Abraham’s faith, God provided a ram and his boy’s life was restored, and his family (Israel) would indeed become as “the stars and the sand” in number. Abraham was faithful. Isaac was faithful. God is faithful and still keeps His promises! Are we being faithful? —Jim Comte
How good is the God we adore, our faithful, unchangeable Friend;
Whose love is as great as His power, and knows neither measure nor end. —J. Hart
