Day 8: Gen 22-24

today got meee! muahaha...
- God testing Abraham. After reiterating the promise so many times, and the fulfilment of that promise in the birth of Isaac, God wanted to test Abraham. He passed!
- how much do i believe in the things that God has promised? do i, out of unbelief, hold back things from God?
- A preview of how God did not withold His only Son either: and through you all nations on earth will be blessed, because you obeyed me.
- i don't really understand the burying sarah bit. what is it's significance?
- weddings and funerals
- abraham's faith in God, the promise that kept him going and believing, even when the situation seems contrary
- the adherence to the vision that he had seen. God will give this land to my seed, and though it seems irrational, i want a wife for my son from my homeland, but i don't want him to go back.
- praying and decision making
