  2. What happens in Genesis 21:1-7?
  3. Read Genesis 22:1-19.
    • God asked Abraham to give up the most important person to him, his son Isaac. What would you do if God asked you to give up something or someone very important to you?
    • Why did God tell Abraham to sacrifice Isaac? (God already the choice Abraham would make. God wanted Abraham wanted to see he would trust God.)
    • Sometimes God may ask you to do hard things and sometimes the asks to do things that are not hard. We have to be willing to listen and obey Him. Our faith grows by trusting God even in tough times.
