YOUR PROMISE WILL NOT DIE

Can you imagine after waiting a lifetime for promise of God to come to pass just for God to ask to sacrifice the thing that you love more than yourself. Cause God isn't asking you for something that you don't want requires what is precious!   But many try give God what left after we have done what we wanted to do. So many have  things that we love more than we love God... that's why when God requires a sacrifice of us we are unwilling release it! Know that the only that sacrifice that is acceptable, is a true sacrifice from your heart and if it doesn't move your heart then it won't move God's heart, either... for you have withheld from God that which is precious in your sight! But God proved Abraham's heart towards him through a test, to see if he loved his promised son more than he loved him as God.  But Abraham had so much confidence in God he told his servants to wait he and his son were go up the mountain to worship and we shall be back.  Now how were "we" coming back to the servants if the promise "Issac" was dead on the mountain!   Abraham had absolute faith in God that HE would provide from himself a another sacrifice not Issac!!!! Then when Issac got worried along the way about going to worship and his daddy building alter with seemingly no sacrifice... Abraham said, the Lord shall provide for himself a Lamb. We don't provide for God but God will always provide for us, he is Jehovah Jireh "the Lord who provides"! 
Parents you have teach your children how to have faith and trust God while young and tender to know God as their source for he is their provider too!
Genesis 22 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”5 He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.” 6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, 7 Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied.
“The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.
9 When they reached the place God had told him about, 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. 10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. 11 But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”
13 Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
