Read:
After all those years of waiting, Abraham finally had Isaac. Then God asked him to do the unthinkable: take his son up a mountain and offer him as a sacrifice. Not a sheep, as was the custom. His own son, who he prayed and waited for.
Picture the two of them climbing—Isaac carrying the wood, and Abraham carrying the fire and the knife. As they approach the mountaintop for the sacrifice, Isaac asks a question his dad doesn’t know how to answer:
“Where’s the sheep?”
Abraham didn’t know how this would work out. He only knew who he was trusting. And on that mountain, God did provide. He gave them a ram caught in a thicket to take Isaac’s place.
Centuries later, God would provide again—and this time it would be his own Son.
You might be facing something with no way through that you can see. But you don’t have to wait until everything’s in place—until you see a ram in the thicket—to take the next step. You just have to trust that God is orchestrating the entire plan, and he’ll make a way forward for you.
Pray: God, I may not see how this will work out, but I trust you to provide what I can’t see yet. Give me the courage to keep walking. Amen.
