1. Mount Moriah later became Mount Zion. This was the place chosen by God as His dwelling and resting place, where the people were to ascend three times a year to worship Him. Today, however, there is no longer a specific physical location; the place chosen by God to receive worship is our spirit, where the very source of the water of life is found (Psalm 132:13-14; John 4:23-24; 7:38-39).
2. Why was Abraham so resolute as to bind Isaac on the wood to sacrifice him to God? Because he believed that God could resurrect him. This is the basic principle of God’s plan: He desires that everything He gives us—and even the work He accomplishes through us—be offered back to Him as a burnt offering (Genesis 22:2-3, 9-10).
3. Everything the Lord grants us is for the fulfillment of His will, and God’s will is the strongest reality that exists. Therefore, let us not reserve any area of our hearts for ourselves. Everything we have, everything we are, and everything God has accomplished in us and through us must serve to fulfill His will—Christ being the Head over all things (2 Peter 1:3; Ephesians 1:3, 9-10).
4. “Whether or not God will be pleased with our offering depends on the tree by which we live. Therefore, only one thing remains for us: to walk in the principle of the tree of life, that is, to seek the presence of God in order to follow the direction and command of God’s voice” (Genesis 2:17, 4:4-5a; Deuteronomy 30:19-20) (Daily Food, book 4, week 2, Friday, p. 31).
