What up youthies.....well it's Wednesday and that means another night together when IGNITE hits @ 6 PM. Make sure to be there tonight as we tackle some questions about other Gods and we might have a little 4 on a Couch action...gonna be sweet!
Ok, so this week we are trying to determine if there are any situations where we can have a free pass from obeying God. The first two days this week we spent talking about why we should obey even when it doesn't make any sense. So that lets us know that we don't get a free pass to disobey if we use the excuse that we don't understand what's going on.
Let's look at another type of situation today, and what we should do if we are found in it.
Obey even when you don't know all the details.
Read Genesis 12:1-4 again today.
God did not tell Abram where he was going or how long it would take him to get there. God did not promise him a smooth trip. God did, however, promise Abram that He would be blessed because of his obedience. Abram never questioned God about any of the details surrounding his new adventure. He followed God's commands and left the planning up to God.
Why didn't Abram question God's instructions? Why didn't Abram ask for more details? I mean that's what we would have done right?
If you could ask God about some specific details of your life or your future, what would you ask? What difference would that information make in the decisions you make now?
Often, God will call us to do something we are not expecting. When God calls and gives us a command, we must follow. We have to understand that we are not in control when God calls us, He is! We may want to know every little detail about the trip, but we don't have to know. Rest assured God knows where He is taking you and God has already worked out all the little details in your trip. God doesn't need your help with directions.
When was the last time you and your family went on vacation? Did you help them plan the trip?
Do you trust your parents to take you somewhere safely and bring you back?
Do you trust God to take you somewhere - guiding you and providing for you?
What make it hard to follow God when you don't know all the details? Why would God want us to follow without knowing all the details?
Think on those things today, and we'll see ya at IGNITE tonight @ 6 in The Attic!
