IIRC, we read that Abraham and the entourage (including his son) were heading to the altar mountain and Abraham told the entourage to wait at the foot of the mountain, that ‘THEY’ would return to them when the sacrifice was completed. I have thought of that in regards to what Paul wrote in Romans regarding ‘faithing’ in God’s Promises. Abraham was so sure of God’s Promise in Isaac would Abraham be blessed that even going to sacrifice him on that altar he told the men with them to wait for THEM to return from the event. Brother, that’s walking in FAITH.

Amen, yes it is. One wonders how it would go if one of us was put to the same challenge of faith. It would take a miracle for me to get through that. But that's when grace shines brightest, when the darkest nights descend, so that God gets all the glory, from now till world's end.

Peace,

SR
