Think about Abraham's reaction to a challenging circumstance. He had been assured that he would father an enormous nation. What happiness this must have brought him! Then God told Abraham to offer his only son as a sacrifice. The command, in the patriarch's eyes, was in direct opposition to the promise (Gen. 15:5; 22:2).
Abraham executed the command; but how could the promise of God be accomplished? He would have told God to forget it if he had responded in the manner of the individuals Steve Lawson was referring to. Though he didn't. When he followed God's instructions, he witnessed God offer a replacement offering. Due to Abraham's obedience, God maintained his promise.
The path to blessing is the path of obedience. At first, obeying God appears difficult, but as we learn that what He asks is for our welfare, obedience to Him becomes easier and more enjoyable.
