Challenging Times

Back in Genesis 22, Abraham was challenged by God. It happened when God asked him to sacrifice His only son Isaac. This was a real test that would prove that Abraham loved God more than his own son.

We are not expected to prove our love for God as Abraham did, but we do encounter challenging times that can be just as difficult.

During the test of Abraham's love, he told his son that the Lord would provide, and that's exactly what God did, when He provided the lamb as the sacrifice.

If God is the same today as He was yesterday, and His Word tells us He is (Mal.3:6), then we know God will provide for us, in our challenging times today as well.
