God is Faithful

At bible study we read the story of Abraham's Test by God to sacrifice his son, Isaac, on Mount Moriah.
I have heard this story so many times growing up in the church, but this time a fellow student said something new that struck me. He said that the story paralleled the situation of a student being tested in a math class. If the student studied the material, he/she would know the answers and would just need to prove that knowledge on paper. In this analogy, Abraham had complete confidence that he and his son would return because his past experience told him that God would do what He said. And previously, God had told Abraham that through Isaac, nations would come.
I had always viewed this story as Abraham just being incredibly faithful to do what God told him to do, not that he knew the end result before it happened. Now, this is not to say that Abraham knew exactly how he and his son would return, but that he had faith that God could raise his son from the dead- in the event that he had to actually go through with killing him.
I want to have a crazy/ dependent faith that follows God; and follows knowing that the God of past experiences is faithful for the future ventures. Thank you Lord for the peace you give those that follow you. Show me where to go. I am willing to follow today. Give strength to follow tomorrow.
