Submitting to the Lord’s Will
Abraham’s faith is tested again
as God calls upon him to sacrifice
treasured son Isaac upon the altar.
Abraham obeys; and able-bodied
Isaac too submitting to Lord’s will.
For their faithfulness, God rewards
them with assurances of blessings.
In the closing years of Abraham’s
life, a time saddened by Sarah’s
death, there remains one important
detail: finding a suitable bride
for Isaac, who again shows his
submission to the Lord’s will.
Lord, we learn from Isaac that
he did not demand his own way.
He did not resist when he was
about to be sacrificed; he gladly
accepted a wife chosen for him
by others and he obediently
follow the instruction of the Lord.
Like Isaac, we must learn to put
God’s will ahead of our own.
Lord, help us to Fully Trust in You;
help us to Submit to Your Will and
help us Follow Your Leading. Amen
