Genesis 22:5
And Abraham said to his young men, Abide you here with the donkey; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.


1. Saints bent to the work of God will turn anything back that may trouble them in it.

2. Inferior things may and must be inhibited by souls above them in case of hindering from God.

3. Saints freed from incumbrances do speed to duties.

4. Humble submission to the hardest part of worship will God's servants readily yield. Both Abraham and Isaac.

5. Return to relations, and relation duties is just after the worship of God.

6. Better events come after believing worship sometimes than saints are aware of.

(G. Hughes, B. D.)
