Today's reading is about Abraham responding to God's request for him to offer Issac as a burnt offering. (Genesis 22:1-12) God wanted to test Abraham to see if he treasured something more than God. Of course we all knew the outcome, Abraham did not hold back Issac and the angel of the Lord said to him, " Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son."

I am not sure if I will pass the test if I were to be tested. Is God really more precious to me than anything else in this world? Will I give up things that I treasured and love for God? Must ask for God's forgiveness, as it was sometime even hard for me to give up my time, my comfort for God. I have to remember that Jesus Christ sacrifice his life for me, so how can I hold back anything from Him.

I like what the author wrote at the end of the devotion guide: No sacrifice we make is too great for the One who sacrificed His all.
