“He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.” Before we can take faithful action for God, a fervent devotion to Him, and an unwavering belief in His promises must be present in our hearts. When we observe the obedience of Abraham, we observe a man that first put his faith in God, being “fully persuaded” He would keep His word. The end result of this belief and obedience was God’s glory. Our Father’s will is that all His children bring Him glory through their loving devotion and fervent faith. When reading Abraham’s story today, we should praise God for His perfect character and determine to follow Abraham’s example. It should remind us that God will never let us down, and serve as an encouragement that, though sometimes difficult, following our Savior is not impossible. Circumstances can put us under pressure and tempt us to doubt, but our Lord is absolutely trustworthy and on our side!
