Then, have them glue on the Big Idea and the verse to the bookmark. ● As they work, remind the kids that God tested Abraham’s faith when he asked him to give up his son. God wanted to know if Abraham would give up anything to follow him. Abraham passed the test and showed his trust in God because he obeyed even though he didn’t understand. In the end, Isaac was spared and Abraham goes down in history as a man of great faith. We can trust God, too, even when things happen that we don’t like or understand.

Elementary Daily Discussion This week, kids learned in Genesis 22:1-14 that God spoke to Abraham and told him to take Isaac up on a mountain and give God the thing that he loved more than anything. Abraham told Isaac that they were going to build an altar and offer a sacrifice to God. Abraham built an altar and arranged the wood on it. Then Abraham looked and saw a ram caught by his horns in the thicket. So Abraham took the ram and offered it as a sacrifice to God. When we put our trust in God, He always provides. Bible Memory Verse: “God Himself will provide.” Genesis 22:8
