OBEDIENT TO GOD
(By; Peter Oluwatomiwa Timothy)

Abraham’s Test:

Abraham was a man who loved God with all his heart. One day, God told him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, as a test of his obedience. Abraham could’ve said no, but he trusted God and was ready to obey.

As he took Isaac to the mountain, his son asked, Daddy, where’s the lamb for the sacrifice? Abraham replied, God will provide, my son.

At the last minute, God stopped Abraham and provided a ram instead. Abraham passed the test!
