Rolling COT: Surrender PRECEDES Provision (taken from sermon @ CCC)
1Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
2Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go
to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a
mountain I will show you.”
3Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with
him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for
the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. 4On
the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. 5He said
to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over
there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.”
6Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son
Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them
went on together, 7Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?”
“Yes, my son?” Abraham replied.
“The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the
burnt offering?”
8Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt
offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.
9When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar
there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on
the altar, on top of the wood. 10Then he reached out his hand and took the
knife to slay his son. 11But the angel of the Lordcalled out to him from
heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.

“Here I am,” he replied.
12“Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now
I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son,
your only son.”
13Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram behind him caught
by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt
offering instead of his son. 14So Abraham called that place The Lord Will
Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will
be provided.”

*Only when Abraham surrendered everything (even that which was most
important to him), did God provide the sacrifice. What do you need to
surrender to God so you can watch Him provide?*
