Genesis 22 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Genesis 22.

Meditate on this phrase from verse 5.

We will worship.

God purposely uses the words love, obey, and worship for the first time in Genesis 22. They are used in the context of sacrifice. They are used in the context of a man not withholding from God what appeared to be most precious to him because God was most precious to Abraham, not Isaac.

Worship carries with it the idea of prostrating yourself or laying yourself down before God. What is God telling you to lay down before Him? What does He want you to give up because it is more precious to you than He is?

Abraham literally laid Isaac on the altar (Genesis 22:9). This was visual proof that Abraham loved God more than anybody or anything else. He would obey God no matter the cost. Abraham worshipped God. And God blessed Abraham (Genesis 22:17).

What do you need to stop withholding from God? Christmas is the season of giving. Use this time to give God everything out of obedience and love for Him, so you can live a life of true worship.

Pray Genesis 22:1 and 16-17 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, when You call,
let _________ and my response be, “Here I am.”

Help us stop withholding __________ from You.

We want You to bless us!


In Your name, Jesus~”
