My son,” Abraham answered, “God will provide the sheep for the burnt offering.” Then the two walked on together. Gen. 22:8
Abraham, knowing that Isaac is the actual sacrifice, hoped in the Lord to provide a substitute for Isaac. Having hope amidst desperate situations is what The Lord requires. As well as having faith that The Lord has a purpose for our obedience.
Having encountered The Truth--who is God, Abraham obeyed without question even if it was excruciating for him. I would have thought, "How can God ask this of me?" Yet an encounter with The Truth makes us realize that all we see are His--even our children, that He is good all the time, and that He always acts in our favor.
