He said, “Please stand for me in this test, so they will not say, ‘The other tests were of no substance.’” The other tests included being thrown in a fiery furnace for not worshipping Nimrod. Not complaining when he had to leave the land promised him so as not to starve. Not flinching with fear when he ran to save his nephew from the powerful armies that had captured him. Not wavering from his faith when he had been promised many children and not a single one had been born. Yes. Because all these tests only demonstrated that Abraham was a man with a cause.
