Day 6 - A Ram

call:
The Lord be with you.

response:
And also with you.

call:
Today’s symbol is a ram. Abraham obeyed God, and God was faithful to Abraham. He gave Abraham a ram to sacri ce instead of Isaac.

response:
Thanks be to God!

Scripture reading : Genesis 22:1-14

Isaac had a very special name: it meant “Son of Laughter.” Abraham and Sarah gave him that name because they laughed with joy when he was born. God had kept his promise!

After Isaac was born, Abraham continued to trust God. Even when God asked him to do something that seemed impossible, he trusted God’s words and obeyed. Abraham knew that God was faithful, and that his promises could never come undone. Even if he couldn’t understand how God would keep his promise, Abraham was ready to obey.

Sure enough, God remained faithful to Abraham. He sent the ram, and Abraham knew again the goodness of God. It had seemed like Mt Moriah would be the mountain where Isaac would be taken away, but instead Abraham joyfully named it “The Lord Will Provide.”

pray:
Generous God, you are our faithful provider. Help us to trust you no matter what, like Abraham did, because you are good. Amen.
