TRUTH TUESDAY — FAITH KNOWS WHO

I've always tended to picture Abraham walking up the mountain in Genesis 22 thinking something like, “I don't know how this is going to work out. I just hope somehow it does.”

But Hebrews 11 gives us an incredible glimpse into what Abraham was actually thinking.

Before going up the mountain, Abraham said:

“I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you.”

— Genesis 22:5

We will return.

How could Abraham say that?

Hebrews 11:17–19 tells us that Abraham had actually reasoned that God was able even to raise Isaac from the dead.

Abraham didn't know what God was going to do. In fact, God didn't raise Isaac from the dead—He provided a ram instead.

But Abraham knew what God was able to do, and he knew God would remain faithful to His promise.

💭 Today's Truth:

Faith doesn't always know HOW. Faith knows WHO.

Faith isn't correctly predicting how God will work. Faith is trusting God when you cannot predict how He will work.

There will be moments when you don't understand what God is doing. Go back to what you know about the One you're walking with.

God is good. God is faithful. God keeps His Word.

🙏 Today's Prayer:

Lord, I don't know how everything in front of me is going to work out. I don't always understand what You are doing, and I cannot see what comes next. But I know You. Help me trust Your character and Your faithfulness when I cannot see Your plan. In Jesus Name. Amen.

What are you facing today where you need to trust Who God is—even though you don't know how He will work?
