Well, another day, another post.... To be honest, I didn't really have a very fruitful QT, so didn't know what to write in my blog... My mind seem to be in a mess, if not, in a zone out mode.... geez, don't like it at all... need to evaluate what is causing all these...
Well, today QT is about Abraham sacrificing his son to God and the whole process. Today's QT main focus was on obedience. What type of obedience did Abraham shown?
Immediate Obedience- Immediate obedience is frequently found in Abraham.... When God told Abraham to send Hagar and her son away. He did so immediately. He did the same when God commanded him to sacrifice Issac. He did the preparations and move out immediately on the next day morning. How many times do we dilly-dally when God ask us to do something? For me I frequently struggle to immediately obey... I guess part of it is my struggle to believe that whatever God wants me to do it is for the best.... Need to really improve in this area
Sustained Obedience- Abraham's obedience is one that is sustained. He didn't just do it halfway and then give up... or pause for a while before carrying on... He keeps on doing... Many times, Christians fail to have sustained obedience because their eyes are towards the things that are not of God or are distracted by things that are not of God... This is also something that i have to work on.... frequently get distracted by the things around me
Willing Obedience- Abraham didn't just obey what God told him to do, he do so willingly.... Is it possible that one person do not obey willingly even if he do that thing as to what God tells him? Yes it is very possible... One can do what is told but be grumbling about what he is given to do. He can also be doing what is told to do but then in his heart he is rebelling every part of the way. God is very displease with this kind of obedience because it is no obedience at all... And it is very hypocritical.... It is no different from the Pharisees and God says that if we are to be with Him, we have to be better than the Pharisees... we better take a look to make sure that our obedience is willing and not unwilling....
There are two more points for obedience but these few points are the one that grabbed my attention... really hope that I obey like how Abraham did
To God be the Glory
