Excerpt from Selections From the Writings of Isaac Williams, B. D

In Abraham is given us the wonderful pattern of a soul that would live to God, in God, and for God - the life of faith. God calling and commanding, and giving him power to perform what lie commanded, and blessing and crowning His own work in him. God proceeding with promise, and Abraham with faith: till Abraham was no more himself, no more his own, but faith in God filled all his soul, all that he did, all that is recorded of him.

It was this faith that lighted up his character with every virtue and grace, it was like one light brightening up jewels of many colours: faith was in his generosity, faith in his courage, faith in his humility, faith in his devotion, faith in the care of his household: it was all one. and the same faith burning more and more intensely, till it had purged the dross and alloy of human affection, and God had become to him his only rest.
