Devotional
An untested faith may not be faith at all. Abraham’s faith was tested when God asked him to sacrifice Isaac. This test was not just about obedience; it was about revealing the depth and authenticity of Abraham’s trust in God. Abraham’s immediate response and unwavering trust showed that his faith was genuine.
Our faith, too, will be tested. These tests are not meant to break us but to reveal and strengthen our trust in God. When we face challenges, we have the opportunity to see God’s faithfulness in new and profound ways.


Bible Verse
Genesis 22:2 - 'Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”'

Reflection Question
How has your faith been tested, and what did you learn about God and yourself through that experience?

Quote
An untested faith may not be faith at all. A faith that has never been squeezed, a faith that has never been stretched, a faith that has never been tested in its durability, in its endurance, in its depth, may not be faith at all.

Prayer
Lord, thank You for the tests that reveal the authenticity of my faith. Help me to trust You more deeply through every challenge. Amen.
