Text — Genesis 22:13-19
Message
A songwriter wrote thus, “Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe, doing exactly what the Lord commands, doing it happily, walking in the light, with your attitude right on the narrow way, obedience is the very best way to show that you believe.” A child that is obedient will be the delight of the Lord.
Abraham obeyed the instruction of God to go and sacrifice his son, Isaac for a burnt offering and immediately he obeyed. As he was about to slay his son, God called him out of heaven, provided a ram as a replacement for his son and made a covenant of blessing with him. To enjoy God’s blessing, you must obey His voice at all times. “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.” (Isaiah 19) His voice is His word as contained in the Holy Bible. Make His word your best companion, read it every day, meditate on its message and obey all that it commands.
