1st Corinthians 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
From the time that sin entered our world, satan has sought to disrupt the chain of command which God saw fit to put in place. Devils have sought to mix up the roles and genders of mothers and fathers, and the children have sought to pry the reins of control from parents in so much that some parents indeed, have become subservient to their kids.
Aaron and Miriam had sought to disrupt the chain of command when they proposed that God had not only spoken through Moses. Korah, Dathan, and Abiram sought to disrupt the chain of command when they accused Moses and Aaron of leading the Hebrews according to their own fancy, suggesting by implication that God was not really leading them.
And throughout history, God’s order has been to a large extent disrupted for various reasons too many to mention. If Isaac had refused to obey based upon what is written in the Bible, he would not have been an icon of faith and obedience, and this in turn may have affected the speed with which his prayer for a wife was answered.
Psalms 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. 19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
