  Last time, we learned about how God gave Abraham and Sarah a very special gift,
• 0:18
  a baby boy named Isaac. They had waited so long, and God showed them that He always keeps His
• 0:26
  promises. But today, we'll hear about a time when Abraham faced a very big test of faith.
• 0:34
  It's a story about trusting God even when things don't make sense. Today's story is from Genesis
• 0:41
  chapter 22. Are you ready? Let's begin! Isaac grew into a strong and happy boy.
• 0:49
  Abraham and Sarah loved him very much. But one day, God called out to Abraham and gave him a very
• 0:58
  difficult command. He told Abraham to take Isaac up a mountain and offer him as a sacrifice.
• 1:06
  Wait! What? Isaac was the special son God had promised. This must have been so confusing for
• 1:16
  Abraham. But do you know what he did? He trusted God. He knew that God had a plan, even if he
• 1:24
  didn't understand it yet. The next morning, Abraham took Isaac and two of his servants and began the
• 1:32
  long journey to the mountain. After traveling for three days, Abraham and Isaac climbed up the
• 1:39
  mountain together. Isaac carried the wood for the sacrifice, and Abraham carried the fire and a
• 1:47
  knife. Then Isaac asked, Father, where is the lamb for the sacrifice? Abraham replied that God would
• 1:57
  provide. When they reached the top, Abraham built an altar and placed the wood on it.
• 2:04
  Then he gently laid Isaac on the altar. Just as Abraham was about to obey God's command suddenly,
• 2:12
  a voice called out from heaven, Abraham, Abraham! It was the angel of the Lord. The angel said,
• 2:24
  Do not harm the boy. Now I know that you truly trust God, because you were willing to obey him.
• 2:32
  Then Abraham looked up and saw something in the bushes. It was a ram. Abraham took the ram and
• 2:43
  offered it instead of Isaac. And do you know what he called that place? He called it, The Lord will
• 2:52
  provide. Wow! What an incredible story! Abraham trusted God even when it was hard, and God showed
• 3:02
  that he had a plan all along. Here are some questions to think about. Can you think of a time
• 3:09
  when you had to trust God, even when you didn't understand? How does this story remind us that
• 3:17
  God always provides? What does this teach us about listening to God?
• 3:25
  Just like Abraham, we can trust that God's plans are always good.
• 3:32
  Thank you for joining me today for this amazing story about Abraham's big test of faith. Next
• 3:39
  time, we'll hear about Isaac's family and how God continued his promises. Until then,
• 3:45
  remember, you are wonderfully made. See you next time.
