One of my favorite passages from the Bible are the passage where God tells Abraham to take Isaac, his only son, up to Mount Moriah and to build and altar and sacrifice him as a burnt offering (Genesis 22:1-19). I can guarantee you that Abraham did not want to do that. We know that God provided a ram to take the place of Isaac, Abraham went up to the mountain fully expecting to sacrifice his son. Verse 10 of the passage states that Abraham had his hand raised and the knife ready to kill his son, until an angel interfered (verse 11).
So what if Abraham were to have said well I just don't feel God calling me to this? God isn't asking us our opinion on his will, he is asking for us to love him. We do that through submission.
