That's an anti-human-sacrifice story. It says "even if people are prepared to carry out human sacrifice for God, he doesn't really want it".

I look at God asking Abraham to sacrifice Isaac as God testing Abraham's trust in God. Having received the child of promise, was Abraham willing to trust God to keep His promise, even if Abraham sacrificed the very child upon which the promises fulfillment rested?

On that day God provided the sacrifice for Abraham. That's where Abraham called God Jehovah-Jireh, God my provider. In the book of Hebrews it said this act of faith by Abraham was accounted to him for righteousness.

Even more awesome is the very act which God did not ultimately require Abraham to complete, i.e. sacrificing his son, God completed Himself, sacrificing His Son. God again was the provider, literally.

Shalom,

KMT
