I stumbled upon something in Genesis the other day that I had never caught before:
Abraham was heading to the place where he was going to sacrifice Isaac. He brought a couple of servants for the journey when he gave this announcement:
“Then Abraham said to his young men, ‘Stay here with the donkey; I and the boy will go over there and worship and come again to you'”
Did you catch it? He said he and the boy (Isaac) will come back. Faith! Have you ever gone on faith, confident of what God was going to do before it happened? It is not easy. I have been there and it is not easy; and even to tell others what you know God will do. God, increase our confidence in you!
