The Surprise of the View

If you have ever hiked a steep mountain, you know that for most of the climb, you aren't looking at the scenery. You are staring at your boots, watching your step, and just trying to breathe. You don't see the beauty; you only see the struggle. But when you finally reach the summit, you lift your head. And suddenly, the view changes everything. Today, we are standing with Abraham at that breathtaking moment where he lifts his eyes from the altar and discovers that God had been working for him the entire time.
