God knew that Abraham would remember what God had shown him that He desired, and that Abraham would seek to obey what God’s Word had revealed. It was not that Abraham was a perfect father. Abraham was never perfect.
There are ten individual situations that Abraham faced from God. He failed at three and passed seven. So Abraham had only a 70% score with God in the realm of passing tests of his faith. But God does not grade on a curve; God looks at the heart and sees whether, even in our failures, we want to obey Him.
That is all God has ever expected of us, His children. Never perfection, never hopelessly trying; rather, He asks us to take His powerful grace and choose to do what He says.
Each time we allow God to empower us, we triumph. Each time we do things on our own or neglect God’s Word, we fail.
