Differences between Faith And Presumption. Part [6] 09/22/2021 (Evening thought)

Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

Again, as we discover the stark differences between faith and [presumption, we have the shining example of Abraham, who is often referred to as the father of the faithful. When it was his turn to lead us by example, he also incorporated obedience with God’s promises and commands, and it was based on the fusion of the two that faith and reality converged.

It is worthy of note that God did not say anything to Noah’s wife, nor to Sarah, for it was left up to them to believe and to participate in their husband’s faith and obedience. In order for both these spouses to benefit from the blessings and promises, they must believe God had indeed spoken to their god-fearing husbands.

And if the spouses had difficulty believing that God gave their husbands such outlandish directives, they could have taken the matter to God in prayer, and He would confirm, wherever He sees fit. As we get closer to the final conflict of the ages, husbands and wives should try to be on the same page, so as not to tear their family apart when crunch time comes, through decision making that goes in opposite directions.

Genesis 12:5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
