Message Notes: Recall a test, any kind of test, that you were dreading but you ended up passing. What happened? How did you feel? Walk with this: Trust Father more! When you’re being tested, you can trust him to abundantly provide! Read and reflect on Abraham’s big test. Explore Genesis 22:1-19. Walking through the passage, consider these insights for trusting Father more and seeing him provide: #1 Testing feels outrageous. What feels outrageous about God’s instruction to Abraham? Why? How about your own life right now? What feels outrageous? How are you being tested? #2 Action-oriented obedience cultivates your trust amidst testing. How is Abraham action-oriented in the story? How do you need to be more action-oriented in this season of your life? #3 Choose hope as you take active steps of obedience. Where do you see hope emerge in this story? Where do you see hope emerging right now in your own story of testing? #4 God graciously provides—at just the right time. How does this insight emerge in the story? What happened? In what current place, situation, or testing circumstances do you need to remember and trust “God will provide!”? How are you most moved by the Father’s love and provision? What will you do in response? Get Ready for Next Week: Listening to God | Elijah for your life direction Read each day from 1 Kings 16:29-17:8
