The world would be a much different place. “The Lord God of heaven … will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.” – Genesis 24:7 (NKJV)
He sent a servant hundreds of miles! “You shall go to my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac.” – Genesis 24:4 (NKJV)
He was not a perfect man. “And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.” – Genesis 22:9 (KJV)
He submitted to the will of God. “And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.” – Genesis 22:9 (KJV)
His commitment was phenomenal. “Now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” – Genesis 22:12 (NKJV)
It’s a colossal responsibility. “I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him.” – Genesis 18:19 (KJV)
That’s the parents’ role. “I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him.” – Genesis 18:19 (KJV)

Vital and vibrant every day… “They received not the love of the truth.” – 2 Thessalonians 2:10 (KJV)
That’s something we can learn from. “Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica.” – 2 Timothy 4:10 (NKJV)
Prepare to be ready. “Be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh.” – Matthew 24:44 (NKJV)
