Scripture Focus: Genesis 22:2; 2 Chronicles 3:1
God told Abraham to go to a specific place, Mount Moriah. At first glance, it looked like a
personal test, but it was far more. That mountain, years later, became the site of Solomon’s
temple, the center of worship and sacrifice for Israel. Abraham thought he was climbing that hill
for a personal act of obedience, but God was painting a prophetic picture. His obedience was
not just about that moment. It was a glimpse of something far greater, of Jesus, the true Son,
the final sacrifice, and the Lamb provided in our place.
This is what happens when we obey. God uses our simple “yes” to tell a bigger story. He
weaves our surrender into a canvas of redemption, legacy, and eternal purpose. You may think
your obedience is small, hidden, or even painful, but it might be the very picture God is using to
reveal Himself to generations after you. When God asks you to obey, it’s never random. He is
sovereign. He is intentional. And your surrender may echo louder than you’ll ever know.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the honor of being part of Your bigger story. Help me to obey without
needing to understand it all. Use my life as a reflection of Your greater plan. In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
