When most of us are given a task at work or home, our first question is, “Why?” Our second is possibly an unspoken one, but is usually some form of the expression, “And what benefit is this to me?” And the third many times is, “How can I get out of this task?” These questions get even more in-depth and difficult the more profound the request is.The request by God of Abraham was simple, “Move your entire existence, including your whole family. Uproot them and go to a place you know nothing about, and I will tell you about it once you get there.” Abraham’s response? Abraham “…obeyed and went…” There are more stories of Abraham after this first request including having a child when he was 100, offering (but not executing) that same child as a sacrifice, and other “very easy” acts of obedience.A reminder of one definition of faith: Faith is putting your undivided confidence in God, and then resting in Him. Abraham would not have been able to accomplish God’s will had he not rested in God alone. In fact as we review his life it is those times that he took God’s plan into his own hands that problems arose (e.g. his son Ishmael born by the maid Hagar, his lies to the Pharaoh of Egypt.) Just as God used Abraham, He intends to use us as the vehicle to accomplish His will. Many times we tend to get confused and reverse that process, expecting God to accomplish our will through His power. Whose will are you working on this week?
