TRUST PRECEDES OBEDIENCE

Abraham had to trust in God before obeying what He asked of him.
But his son Isaac is a more eloquent testimony to a great degree of trust and obedience.

When they (Abraham and his son Isaac) had arrived at the place which God had told him to offer his son as a sacrifice, « Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. »(Genesis 22:9-10)

If Isaac obeyed his father Abraham and let him bind him and laid him on the altar to kill him, it was because he trusted in his father and in his God.
Isaac could have refused to be bound, and he would have cried out for help and fled from his father, but because he trusted his father, he obeyed.
Is there more obedience than that?
And yet, it is this trust that God wants us to have in Him.
Without this trust we cannot obey Him as He wants and do His will, nor can we please Him.

PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, give us to trust You so that we can be able to do Your will.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
