And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” (Gensis 22:12-14)
On the mountain, we think of "highs". Yet God can humble us at the peak of our lives.
He can challenge us, correct us, even change us! Whatever He does, it will be for our best and for His glory, if we choose to obey as Abraham did here with Isaac.
Happy Hiking!
