Bible Verse of The Day – 10-28-22

Genesis 12:1 (NKJV) 1 Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.

As I have recently been studying people of great faith in the Bible, I have noticed a common thread that runs among them; they never asked God why.

God would tell them what to do, and they would obey.

Abraham was the first person where I noticed this.

God had told him on more than one occasion to do something that was out of the ordinary; beyond human comprehension.

And these things that God told him to do made no sense to the human mind. Take a look!

• Leave your homeland and go somewhere that I will show you.
• You will become the father of a great nation even though you have no children, and you are very old.
• Trust me to give you a son even though you’re old and your wife is beyond child-bearing age.
• Take your son to the top of the mountain and offer him as a sacrifice.

And these are only a few examples from Abraham’s life. There are many others who had the same kinds of things happen to them.

One of the things that stood out to me is that Abraham never asked God why.

In human terms, he had the right to do so. Our flesh would think that this would not only be normal, but obligatory.

We need to remember, though, that faith operates outside of human terms and outside the boundaries of human intellect.

So, as we learn to trust God more, we also tend to question Him less. It just comes with the territory of walking in faith and knowing who our God is.
