Genesis 22:2 Und er sprach: Nimm Isaak, deinen einzigen Sohn, den du lieb hast, und gehe hin in das Land Morija und opfere ihn daselbst zum Brandopfer auf einem Berge, den ich dir sagen. Hebrew 11:8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
When he received the promise from God, God commands him to sacrifice his miracle. Sometimes when it seems that things are going well, God demands even more of us. It is the discomfort of giving even more and your reaction to it that brings you into the promises of God! Notice Abraham's reaction. Do you really want more from God? The way of dealing with something always goes before the promise. Don't give up but rather hunger for more. bmc 1 Moses 22; Matthew 5:6, 1 Corinthian 3:13-14; 2 Corinthian 5:14-15, 1.
