What Did Abraham Learn?
What Did Abraham Learn?
Read: Who has the plan?
The Lord.
For me to walk in the plan God has from me, I have to be willing to set down any plan I have for me, that is contrary to God’s plan for me.
Why?
My plans are limited to Me.
My intellect, my resources.
Look in the New King James,
God’s thoughts are released.
God’s thoughts contain everything needed to bring His plan to pass.
God’s thoughts see in advance, and make provision in advance.
What did Abraham Learn?
The Lord Said: The Lord released the What and the How.

Have we valued every word enough to follow through?

Fade in

Was it a big deal?
Is it a big deal when we fine tune God’ release from heaven?

He is still in the promise land, He’s where he is supposed to be.
But,
To the West is Bethel, to the East is Ai.

Why does it sometime seem like we just can’t hear from God?
We did not place correct value on the last thing He said?
What happens when we are not hearing from God?
We make our own choices.
Abram leaves and heads for the Negev.
The southern most part of Canaan.
It is as far away from the center of Canaan (God’s will) as Abram can possible be, and still be in Canaan.

He still has his nephew with him.

Life is good, vs 2 says they are very rich.
They escaped from possible death at the hands of Pharaoh and maybe Sara thanks to the mercy of God.
What happens when we begin to think of the goodness and mercy of God in our lives?
There is a calling from heaven wanting us completely.
