Title: God Who Walks with You
Contents
1. Because I am a person who depends on God for everything, He walks with me.
The world gives the impression that opportunists are doing well. The person who appears to be an opportunist in the Bible would be Jacob. However, the reason we see Abraham more impressively than Jacob is because the process of experiencing, walking with, and receiving God's grace is very different.
In Genesis 12, the scene where Abraham left his hometown and relatives and all his environment and went out to the land that God indicated is in Genesis 12. At that time, the family of his nephew Lot was also brought out.
Genesis 12:1-4 "1 The LORD said to Abram, "Leave your country, your kindred, and your father's house, and go to the land that I will show you." and Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.”
On the way out, I had to live with my nephew Lot's flock because the land was cramped and we had to live separately. At that time, his uncle Abraham, lovingly, encouraged his nephew to search for a good land first. Then his nephew Lot
Text, 10-11 '11. Then Lot lifted up his eyes and looked at the Jordan region, and there was plenty of water in all the land as far as Zoar, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, it was like the garden of the Lord, and it was like the land of Egypt. And they moved to the east, and they departed from each other.”
My nephew was dark in spirit, so he went out to the land that he saw in the flesh. In the latter days, Sodom and Gomorrah will be judged, and Lot will have a tragic end.
Genesis 19:24-25 “The LORD rained brimstone and fire from heaven, the LORD, on Sodom and Gomorrah, 25 and overthrew those cities and all the wilderness and all the people who lived in them, and all that was on the land. '
When you become a saint, you often lose many opportunities in the world.
It is not difficult to put biblical faith into family and work relationships. However, those who only look to God like Abraham must believe that they will receive twice as much grace.
2 Corinthians 4:18 “It is not the things that are seen that we pay attention to, but the things that are not seen, for what is seen is temporary, but what is not seen is eternal.
Psalm 37:5 'Commit your way to the LORD, trust in him and he will do it'
2. After Lot was sent, God was present
Verse 14, “After Lot left Abram, the Lord said to Abram, “Lift up your eyes and look from where you are to north and south and east and west.” Of course, God was with his nephew Lot. There are two ways to understand
1) It is the fact that He is with those who live according to the word He has already given.
2) He speaks directly or accompanies him through visions and voices
Experience is more certain in the second case, but you should know that living according to the Word is a more sure way of walking. He is God who appeared to Abraham immediately after his nephew Lot, who had weak faith, left. That's right. The true experience of God only goes to the stage of experiencing God's grace only when we remove the human element, turn around, repent, and organize ourselves.
If a person has the ability, it becomes difficult to believe in it and depend on God or experience it. If we think like Lot in our way of life or situation or there are obstacles in advancing our faith life, I believe that history will happen only when we separate, separate, remove and arrange things. .
3. You confirmed the companionship by reconfirming the message of blessing.
Even when Abraham left his hometown, he heard the message of God's blessing. Of course, I didn't know how to receive the blessing in no time. According to the Bible, there are many people who walk the road with only dreams and visions without knowing the future.
** The same is true of Noah, who built the ark more than 100 years ago. It was something that did not make sense to me in common sense, but in the end the incident of the Great Flood broke out...
** Joseph's dream and the process of fulfilling it were difficult, but they finally came true. When Abraham was called in Genesis 12, he first got the message of blessing, but now God appears again and promises a blessed future.
Text, 14-15 'After Lot left Abram, the LORD said to Abram, Lift up your eyes and look from where you are to north and south and east and west, 15. I will give to you and to your descendants the land you see, forever.”
I believe that hearing the word of God so that we can reaffirm the message of salvation and grace every Sunday is a message of blessing for the future of believers. We believe that your Word will guide us.
Although Abraham had no children at the time when Abraham received the promise of blessing, his wife Sarai had no children, and the land he occupied was rather barren. with three hundred and eighteen men trained and trained,
In any case, if we also believe and rely on the words of the Lord, Matthew 6:33 'Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you,' then God will walk with you and appear and spread the word. I believe that you will lead us to a future of grace while reconfirming.
Biblical scholar Palmer said, The Bible is God's atlas.
Psalm 119:105 "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
I believe that the God who walked with Abraham today is also with me and you, and I bless you in the name of Jesus for continued progress in your faith.
