7. And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

he obliged his father's word that God would make the provision.
He didn't argue, he had understood the ways of God and how God works with Abraham, his father. He (Isaac) already made God big within him.
And even after getting to that point where the knife was about going..
