LESSONS LEARNED
I have learned a lot about God looking at Abraham's life.
Young Abram at the tender age of seventy five heard the voice of God telling him to leave his land and family, to travel to a distant land without a clear set of directions. Abram was obedient but a famine forced him into Egypt, His wife Sarai was made a concubine for foreign dignitaries- TWICE!!, a conflict forced him to separate from Lot, Abram found himself in the middle of warring nations, just trying to get to the land God was directing him to. He would have to double back to rescue Lot and his family. At the age of eighty six Abram hooks up with Hagar and has a child- not the one promised by God. Abram couldn't rid himself of Hagar or Ishmael, but he had to keep pushing toward the destination God was leading him to... finally at the age of 100, Abram gets a name change and the son that was promised to him and his wife., only to have God tell him to sacrifice the promise he had waited for.
All of these plot twists, harrowing escapes, major debacles, sins, and bad judgements; Abraham still pushed towards the promises of God.
Lesson learned: If you are trusting God for the destination: then trust Him with the detours... You will get where you need to be
Be well family.
