Abraham's Test of Faith - Genesis Chapter 22 Poem

More about Abraham's Test of Faith - Genesis Chapter 22 Poem

God tested Abraham, one fateful day,
With a command, that took his breath away,
"Take your son Isaac, your only one,
And offer him as a sacrifice, My son."
Abraham obeyed, without a doubt,
Gathered wood, and set out,
With Isaac, his beloved son,
To the mountain, as God had begun.
Isaac questioned, "Where is the lamb?"
Abraham replied, "God will provide, I am",
They built an altar, and arranged the wood,
Bound Isaac, in faithful mood.
As Abraham raised the knife, to slay,
An angel of the Lord, appeared that day,
"Stop!" the angel cried, "Do not harm the boy,
For your faith in God, brings Him great joy."
Abraham looked up, and saw a ram,
Caught in the thicket, by God's plan,
He offered it, as a sacrifice instead,
And praised God's name, with heart so glad.
God honored Abraham's faith so bold,
And blessed him, as He had foretold,
Promising descendants, countless as stars,
A legacy of faith, that reaches far.
In Genesis 22, we learn,
That faith and obedience, God does yearn,
He tests our hearts, to refine our trust,
And rewards our faith, with blessings so just.
So let us trust, in God's perfect way,
Even when tested, day by day,
For He is faithful, beyond compare,
And in His love, we can safely fare.
