Job is behind us now, and we move on to Abram.  Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.  And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.  I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
So Abram went, as the Lord had told him. -Genesis 12: 1-4a

What I find interesting about this passage is that Abram obeyed.  At 75 years old he just picked up everything he owned, which was a great deal, and started on a journey of which he did not even know the destination.

Even with the knowing my final destination I can be slow to follow God’s leading sometimes.  Do I dare pray for a heart that is quick to follow wherever God leads?

​To God be the glory,

(​I am recouping from a weekend bout with a stomach bug.  My mind is still a bit fuzzy this morning but I have gotten caught up on reading.  Days like these I find frustrating because I read God’s Word and that is about all I can muster.  My thoughts are not what I would call coherent, lol. But I press on.)

My thoughts from this morning's time in God's Word:
Then the LORD answered Job…and He does not address Job’s question, he never tells Job why things have come to pass as they have-instead He makes it clear that He is God-creator, sustainer.  And Job is a man who is speaking without knowledge.  So God turns the tables on Job, “I will question you, and you make it known to Me.”  As God continues we all get a taste of humble pie.

​To God be the glory,

The youngest speaks. 
He recognizes that the other three men have condemned Job without proof of any wrongdoing. 
​And he is angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God-which I find an interesting perspective.
 
To God be the glory,
