the LORD will provide – is still a mountain of faith
Yes, taking those steps of faith to do what God desired Abraham to do, had to have been gut wrenching. Isaac was tied up and put onto the altar. He knew then, that he was the sacrifice. Abraham lifted the knife to sacrifice his son, and God stopped him and provided a ram.
What God asks from us today seems so trivial compared to this. Yet, its so hard to just trust that things will turn out ok. Following God and going and doing what He tells us to do, even when it makes no sense. That is faith like Abraham.
