The passage about Abraham and Isaac is such a chilling and heart wrenching story to me now that I have a son of my own. Oh, I shudder at the thought…

Notice through out Genesis 22 that God calls upon Abraham three times and Abraham answers, “Here am I.” Abraham hears God’s call clearly and is actively available to answer that call. It was especially important for Abraham to answer God in verse 11 when God exempted him from sacrificing Isaac!

Here am I.

Are you clearly hearing God’s call? Are you ready and willing to answer Him?

Check out verse 18:
‘…and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”

We too can enjoy all types of blessings by simply paying attention to the call of God and being ready and willing to obey.

Is is hard for you to “hear God’s voice?” He doesn’t always speak to us audibly. Most of the time, the Lord uses the Bible to speak to us. Now is a great time to crack open the Word and dig in to hear what God is saying to you personally. You are always welcome to join me in my journey this year of reading through the Bible…
