[[-SOAP HUB]] [[Genesis 22]] ## Title: Trust God in the Hard Days ## Scripture: (Genesis 22:3) “Early in the morning Abraham got up and saddled his donkey. He took two of his young servants with him, along with his son Isaac. When he had cut the wood for the burnt offering, he started out for the place God had spoken to him about.” (NET) ## Observation: I cannot imagine how difficult it must have been to get up in the morning, knowing what God had asked Abraham to do. It took an amazing amount of trust to do this. Abraham knew God had promised to make him a great nation. He knew this would not be possible if Isaac was no more. Therefore, he knew either God would intervene or bring Isaac back to life. This is an amazing amount of trust. This is what God asks of us. We are not required to figure out what the Lord is doing. We are required to trust that He is trustworthy. We follow and trust the Lord to do the right thing, the right way, and trust that all things will work out for good. ## Application: Where do you need to keep following God, even though you don’t understand? ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for leading us in the right direction.
