📖 “Lay down the knife; don't hurt the lad in any way," the Angel said, "for I know that God is first in your life-you have not withheld even your beloved son from me." -Genesis 22:12 TLB
God tested Abraham. Not only did He want to see if Abraham would honor the covenant, but he also wanted to test his loyalty. God knew how much Abraham loved his son, but he wanted to see if he loved him more than God. Abraham passed the test. He was literally about to bring the knife down on his son when God told him to stop. Abraham proved his loyalty to the covenant and that God was number one in his life. God wants to be number one and a priority in our lives too. He doesn't want us to love anyone or anything more than Him. When you go all out for God, God will go all out for you. You can't outdo God.
