It must have felt like a riddle he couldn’t quite solve. 

For two days, Abraham had been walking across the harsh middle eastern landscape with an unthinkable assignment and a heavy heart. Maybe he’d rehearsed all of the steps to obey what was required of him and wondered how the provision of God he’d experienced so profoundly could be reconciled with what came next. 

God had already promised to provide for Abraham and his descendants (Genesis 15:18–19). And Abraham believed Him (Romans 4:3). I imagine the kinds of questions he may have asked, wondering what form would God’s care take now—now that He’d asked Abraham to slaughter his own son. “Will He send an angel to stop me? Will He bring my boy back from the dead? Will He provide the peace I’ll need to live with what I’ve done?”

Then the third day came…“On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance” (Genesis 22:4).
