DECEMBER 10
“The angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven and said: 'I
swear by my very self...that because you acted as you did in not withholding
from me your son, your only one, I will bless you and make your descendants as
countless as the stars of the sky and the sands of the seashore; your
descendants will take possession of the gates of their enemies, and in your
descendants all the nations of the earth will find blessing, because you obeyed
my command.'”
Gen. 22:15-18
Gen. 22:15-18
Reflection: The
Lord puts Abraham to the test - how much does he really trust God? God knows
the answer to this already. It’s Abraham who must see for himself how deeply he
believes the Lord’s oath to him.
Prayer: God
our Father, sometimes we forget how much faith You have in us. We struggle to
trust you and to accept that You love us beyond all imagining. Amen.
