Parasha Minute: Genesis / BreisheetSample
"Move with Adonai"
Adonai planned to make Avram (Abraham) a great nation--to bless him, making him a blessing to others. But Adonai’s condition was to "Get out." In his senior years, moving away from home base did not seem like a good idea. The challenge would be for Avram to see all things (good or bad) as Adonai allowed. In walking with God, He shows the promise of a future and reveals a new creation in Yeshua. By His Holy Spirit, He empowers through faith and action. Outside comfort zones and spheres of influence, Adonai sets a path challenging His followers to receive from Him as the only source of direction and favor. Only when this is resolved can a step towards the right direction start. Reflection / Prayer: Adonai, are you gently nudging or loudly reminding us to trust only You about a circumstance? Although different from our expectation, You have never let us down. Please help me with more faith as You get us ready.
