Plan B (Abraham - Part 8)

“Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord,“Who take counsel, but not of Me, And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit,That they may add sin to sin; Who walk to go down to Egypt, And have not asked My advice...”
- Isaiah 30:1-2a NKJV
The Flesh Proposal - Genesis 16:1-2 ESV
The Two Worst Things - Genesis 16:3-4 ESV
Rife with Strife - Genesis 16:5-6 ESV
Our Plans are Fraught with Unintended Consequences

So how should we respond?...

1. Be Led by the Holy Spirit - Galatians 3:2-3 ESV & Romans 8:13-14 ESV
2. Consider what you place your confidence in - Philippians 3:3 ESV & Jeremiah 17:7-8 NIV
Questions to Ponder:

(1) Am I continuing to follow the last known command(s) of God, or do I follow my own whims and “great” ideas? (Prov. 28:26)

(2) Abraham yielded to the subtlety of his wife. Are there people that I assume are providing me good counsel but actually are not hearing from God at all?

(3) How can I get Godly counsel so that I am not left to the deceptive “fast-tracks of the flesh”? (Psalm 119:107; Eph. 4:11-14)
