Day 1 – THE STORY

Last week you learned about Abram. Remember that God changed Abram’s name later to Abraham? When you read the Bible, you will see they are the same person. This week you are going to investigate him as Abraham. 

Read Genesis 22:1-14 – (this is a lot to read so have your parents help you if you need it.)

What did God ask Abraham to do? Do you think Abraham understood why God asked him to do something this crazy?

Day 2 – THE WITNESS

So God could show us the serious faith Abraham had in Him, God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son. Abraham didn’t know what was going to happen but He still trusted God to provide. Read Genesis 22:7-8 and see that Abraham trusted that God would not make him sacrifice his son.

When Isaac asked what they would sacrifice, he told him that God would provide what?

When God asks you to do something, do you trust that He will provide you what you need?

For example, if God asked you to give someone your only winter coat, do you believe that He will provide a way to keep you warm?

B & B

Abraham didn’t have to sacrifce his only son, but God did.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

We can be thankful God didn’t make Abraham sacrifice his son. Are you thankful that God sacrificed His only Son so you could live forever with Him?

Day 3 – THE SOURCE 

Abraham trusted that God would provide what he needed.

Read Matthew 6:31-33

What should you not worry about?

Why does God tell you not to worry about these things?

What are some things you need that you worry about?

Take some time to ask God to provide for the things that you need.

Day 4 – THE MOTIVE

Why did God provide for Abraham? Why does He provide for you?

Today you will investigate God’s motive.

Read 1 Peter 5:7

Why should you not worry about anything? How has God shown you that He cares for you?

Day 5 – CAUGHT IN THE ACT

Today take some time to look at all you have. Look in your closet, your fridge, and in your house. How has God provided above and beyond what you need?
