Hey guys, we all face tests in our life that indicate to us things about us that we might not

readily know about us. So tests are good because they reveal things to us about us. We're going to

talk about one of the greatest tests in all the Bible on today's

podcast. Listen in. Welcome to Everyday Truth with Kurt Skelie. We believe the Bible is true

and relevant to everyone, everywhere, every day. If today's conversation is a help to you,

take a moment to leave a review or share it with a

friend. Thanks for listening. Now, let's join Kurt for today's episode. Hey, friends, welcome back.

We're in Genesis 22 today talking about our friend Abraham, a man of great faith, and nowhere

in all of the story of Abraham is his faith more tested

than in this chapter. Very famous chapter, and I don't want to belabor it. So let's jump right in

Genesis 22 in verse 1. And it came to pass after these things. So we talked a bit about Abraham

sojourning in the land of the Philistines. And now we're going to fast forward. God is going to

introduce a different episode. Isaac is a good deal older in this chapter. Don't know exactly

how old he was, but we know in the next chapter that Sarah dies at

127 years of age.

And we know that she had Isaac at age 90.

So Isaac is certainly younger than 37, but old enough to be able to travel with his dad and carry the

wood up the hill. And it's hard to pinpoint the exact age, but probably somewhere late teens,

early 20s would be my best guess. Wouldn't be dogmatic about that, but that would be my best guess.

And I say that because it really adds a little bit of spice to the story when you read about

this. So it came to pass after these things that God did tempt Abraham. Sometimes people have

an issue with that. I thought God doesn't tempt people.
