And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called the name of that place, "The Lord will provide." Genesis 22:13-14
Dear Lord God,
Help us to lift up our eyes and look at the salvation you have provided in the offering of your Son whom you did not spare on account of your great love. The price of sin was paid in full by the only one who could do it. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
