True Worship

Genesis 22:3
So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off. And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you.”

There is no greater form of worship than faith. Abraham had an assurance of God's provision.  In the testing of his faith he did not waiver or hesitate in following God's command to sacrifice Isaac. We see in his statement to his servants, "we will come back to you" that he had no doubt that he would return with his son for:

Hebrews 11:19

New King James Version (NKJV)
19 concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.

It was not the sacrifice that God desired it was the act of faithful obedience. Faith shown by our willingness to be obedient is the greatest form of worship.  Let us as followers of Jesus Christ offer ourselves without hesitation as living sacrifices.   Knowing that He is able to keep that which we commit unto Him.


2 Timothy 1:12

New King James Version (NKJV)
12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.
