Gooooood Tuesday morning! This week we are looking at obedience and if there are ever situations that we can get a "free pass" so to speak, from being obedient to God. Yesterday we talked about the importance of obeying God even when it doesn't make sense. We camped out in Genesis 12: 1-4 so I encourage you to read it again to refresh your brain a little bit!
So, you read it right? Ok good.
Ok, so Abram had lived in the same place for a really long time. His entire world revolved around his family, land, and livestock. Sounds exciting, huh? He probably planned on living there the rest of his life. He thought he had his life planned out. But God had other plans for him. God told him to pack up everything he owned and leave the land he loved so much - and leave his parents and other extended family members. This must have been a huge shock to Abram and his family.
Sometimes God will instruct us to do things that don't make sense. Many times we will plan out every detail of our lives and never consider what God may want us to do. It's important for us to always be willing to obey God's voice. Faith is following God when you don't understand what He is doing in your life.
Has your family ever moved from one city to another? How did it feel to make that move?
Did your family move because God instructed them to move?
How did Abram know it was God telling him what to do? How do you know when God is leading you to do something?
Think about those things and we'll see ya tomorrow on the blog and tomorrow night at 6 in the Attic for another Ask Anything night!
