Look to Abraham your Father, And to Sarah who bore you; For I called him alone, And blessed him and increased him. Isaiah 51:2 NKJV
The bible calls Abraham the man of faith. God called Abraham His friend.
God told Abraham to leave his father’s house and go to a land the Lord would show him. Abraham obeyed God.
Abraham did not know where God would send him. He did know God would lead him and guide him to the land the Lord would give him. Abraham knew God would protect him and be his rear guard.
God told Abraham, take your only son Isaac, whom you love and offer him as a burnt offering. Abraham obeyed God.
Abraham did not understand why God told him to sacrifice his son. Isaac was the son God promised Abraham in his old age. God said his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky. God told Abraham he would become a great nation.
Abraham never focused on what he did not know. He focused on who he knew. |
