The lord fulfilled the promise he made to Abraham.
The Lord tested Abraham and asked him to sacrifice. This was a huge test!! Would you be willing to give up the most valuable thing you have?? Although Abraham might have felt sad and possibly felt confused he still obeyed the Lord.
He took Isaac to Mount Moriah. Just before killing Isaac the Lord stopped him.
There are similitude between Heavenly Father and Abraham and Jesus Christ and Isaac.
What are they?

Is anything too hard for the Lord?
Today we discussed the promise the Lord made to Abraham.
He was told that Sarah would have a child.
Sarah was a bit surprised and laughed in disbelief. She was about a ninety years.
Although it seemed unlikely for a woman her age to have a child nothing is impossible for the Lord.
When you feel that something is impossible in your life turn to the Lord. If it is his will he will make it possible.
I admire Abraham for his patience. He waited for a hundred years to have
his promise fulfilled. If he can wait a hundred years and not have his faith waver then so can I and you as will.
We discussed Sodom and Gomorrah.
The Lord told Abraham he would not destroy Sodom if there was as little as five righteous people.
The Lord warned Lot (Abraham's nephew) that the city Sodom would be destroyed.
Lot left Sodom with his two daughters and his wife (no one else listened to his warning).
Lot's wife "turns back" and is turned to salt. Turning back does not literally mean she turned back. It's a figurative way of saying she probably could not leave her ways or her material wealth.
Is it difficult for us to make changes in our life to become more righteous?
