12. Genesis 22:2 (NASB95)
2 He said, “Take now your
son, your only son, whom you
love, Isaac, and go to the land
of Moriah, and offer him
there as a burnt offering on
one of the mountains of
which I will tell you.”
13. Genesis 22:8 (NASB95)
8 Abraham said, “God will
provide for Himself the lamb
for the burnt offering, my
son.” So the two of them
walked on together.
17. Genesis 22:13 Then Abraham
raised his eyes and looked, and
behold, behind him a ram caught
in the thicket by his horns; and
Abraham went and took the ram
and offered him up for a burnt
offering in the place of his son.

19. Philippians 4:19 And my God
will supply all your needs
according to His riches in glory
in Christ Jesus.
20. Genesis 22:14
Abraham called the name of that
place The Lord Will Provide, as it
is said to this day, “In the mount
of the Lord it will be provided.”
21. Do you obey without reservation
when God tests you or allows you to
be tested?
OR
Do you hesitate, negotiate, argue or
resist and in so doing avoid obeying
immediately?
22. What is your "Isaac" that you
dearly love and you would
rather God not ask you to
release to Him?
23. God is Jehovah ("I Am") and He says
"I Am... everything you will every
truly need to live this Christian life.
24. Jesus said, “Your Father knows the
things you have need of before you
ask Him”. He is constantly caring
for and seeking the best for us—a
reminder that in times of hardship,
need, and fear, we have Someone
who cares.
Peter wrote that we can cast all our cares upon Jesus, because He cares
for us. We can turn to Him in our time of need.
25. As Jehovah Jireh God can and will provide exactly
what we need when we need it, for His timing is
perfect.
May it be true of us that when we come through the
Refiner's Fire like Abraham, that our Father will say
"now my son or daughter, I know that you fear Me
in a right, reverential sense."
26. Remember that with God, His delay is not
necessarily denial, but as with Abraham is so
ordained that it might bring about a deep "surgery"
within our heart.
May it be true of us that when we come through the
Refiner's Fire like Abraham, that our Father will say
"now my son or daughter, I know that you fear Me
in a right, reverential sense."
