The sacrifice of Isaac and Sarah’s sentiment

Beloved, Abraham was a true friend of God. He was so deeply interconnected with God that there was literally nothing he would not do for God.

Having waited twenty-five years for his miracle son Isaac, Abraham didn’t hesitate when God commanded him to sacrifice his only beloved son.

Abraham valued and prioritized his relationship with God above everything! He moved swiftly and discreetly to do as the Lord commanded, telling no one, not even his wife Sarah, about what the Lord had instructed.

Conquering nation, Abraham was so loyal to God, his relationship with God was unlike any other.

In his wisdom, he probably knew that if he were to share with his wife what God was commanding, Sarah’s sentiment toward sacrificing her son, whom she had waited a quarter century for, would not have been well-received at all—and that’s putting it mildly...

Beautiful Conqueror, Abraham's sacrifice was based on his deep intimacy with God. Their relationship was bigger and stronger than anything, and what made it so remarkable was that literally nothing could separate Abraham from the love of God—that is deeply profound.

As you move into this new season of spring, may your sentiment about that which God commands of you spring up with the attributes that Abraham exhibited.
