The blessings of obedience. Obey and you shall be blessed.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:6-7
We all know that story. Abraham heard the voice of God asking him to offer his son Isaac as a burnt offering by taking him to the mountains and killing him. However traumatic or troubling the story was, we still find out in the end that it is simply a lesson about one thing and one thing only. Obedience.
12He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” (Gen. 22:11-12)
Read the newer version of the translated verse and see how much it has changed by changing the word FEAR to TRUST.
