The early chapters of Genesis set the stage for the whole Biblical saga. God created a good world, and assigned humans to take care of it. They failed—by Genesis 6, their thoughts were “only evil all the time.” Sad but undeterred, God found Abraham, a man willing to listen and follow. “Through you,” God told him, “I will bless all the peoples on the earth.”
- Abraham faced a huge decision: “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household.” The IVP Bible Background Commentary: Old Testament says, “When Abraham gave up his place in his father’s household, he forfeited his security. He was putting his survival, his identity, his future and his security in the hands of the Lord.” What are you willing to give up to follow God’s call, and be a blessing to others?
- Childless at 75, Abraham trusted God’s call to father a nation. In what ways, big or small, is God calling you to trust in your life?
