Using Genesis chapter twenty two verses one through eight
On the topic “The Genuine Test”, Pastor Arnie did us educate
Abraham was a great man but like us, was far from perfect
Sometimes his actions and his stated faith were in conflict
But yet through it all, Abraham could recognise God’s voice
He knew God was faithful so obeying God was his choice
We take tests to see if we meet standards and have learned
When told to sacrifice Isaac, Abraham was not concerned
As per Hebrews eleven, he knew God could raise the dead
With firewood and a knife, Abraham and Isaac went ahead
Because test are for individuals, he left his servants behind
Per James two, Abraham's faith and actions were aligned
Isaac asked his father where they would find the sacrifice
God would provide, Abraham stated just once - not twice
Years later, the Lord would send his own son to the cross
Per John three, His love for us led to Christ’s earthly loss
Abraham relied on God to bring him through every test
Loving and worshiping God is the response valued best
Tests can teach us patience or prepare is to help others
For the Lord is faithful to all believing sisters and brothers
He did not spare His Son so will surely give us all things
In return we should honour Him more than we do kings
Giving Him our heart and our life without any debate
For we are all more than conquerors, per Romans eight
