Genesis 22:

God Tests Abraham

22 Later Elohim tested Abraham and called to him, “Abraham!”

“Yes, here I am!” he answered.

2 Elohim said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I will show you.”

3 Early the next morning Abraham saddled his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut the wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place that Elohim had told him about. 4 Two days later Abraham saw the place in the distance.

8 Abraham answered, “Elohim will provide a lamb for the burnt offering, Son.”

11 But the Messenger of Yahweh called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!”

“Yes?” he answered.

12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear Elohim, because you did not refuse to give me your son, your only son.”

13 When Abraham looked around, he saw a ram behind him caught by its horns in a bush. So Abraham took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering in place of his son. 14 Abraham named that place Yahweh Yireh. It is still said today, “On the mountain of Yahweh it will be provided.”

The Lord’s Seventh Promise to Abraham

15 Then the Messenger of Yahweh called to Abraham from heaven a second time 16 and said, “I am taking an oath on my own name, declares Yahweh, that because you have done this and have not refused to give me your son, your only son,

Notice tested by God,  Abraham knew God would provide.  The Lord stopped him because he fesred God.   Like Job…the Lord knew  he feared  God….Noah walked with God.

Love God, (Jesus),  The Lord reacts.
