Will you be an Abraham?

A few years ago I spent a good amount of time studying Abraham.

I really admire him.

Imagine, you are standing outside one night. The breeze is blowing, you wiggle your toes in the warm sand and are snacking on a fig or two. You are enjoying a quiet moment.

Then God speaks up. He makes a lot of promises, says he will give you great things but there are a few catches - you are going to an unspecified destination and you have to take all your family and your wife's. And all their baggage!

What did Abraham do? Did he say, "let me get back to you?" or "can I sleep on it?" or "the missus and I will chat about it tomorrow over breakfast."

Nope, Abraham went.
He went.
Think about it - no discussion, no quarrelling, no haggling.

Abraham went.

The other day at church a young lady who sings in our praise band walked by. The Spirit said, "Go talk to her, I want her to hear about Emmaus."

I went - the other way. I found two things to do before I headed in the direction she had been.
But then, on my way out the door, I ran right into her. The same girl.

We chatted, I gave her a brochure and we got to know each other.

Powerful young woman of God who is an educator and a single mom.

Don't you know God wants to affirm her in all ways?

Pray for Wendy. Pray Wendy will yield to God's leading much easier than I did!

So, are you going to be like Abraham and just go when God tells you to go?
