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.
[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 290] The obstacles that hinder our progress will never disappear before a halting, doubting spirit. Those who defer obedience until every shadow of uncertainty disappears, and there remains no risk of failure or defeat, will never obey at all. Unbelief whispers, “Let us wait till the obstructions are removed, and we can see our way clearly;” but faith courageously urges an advance, hoping all things, believing all things.
There will never come a point in the Christian’s life where we stop learning, for even in the earth made new, we will constantly be advancing in knowledge and understanding. And therefore, the way we decide to obey God will be critically important, if we are to have that deep meaningful relationship with Him, one that will not buckle under pressure when the storms of life come and the winds of strife blow.
There is such a situation as a person doing the right thing the wrong way, and especially when it comes to obeying God, you want to do it the right way. The reason for this is that when erroneous concepts perspectives, and practices pertaining to obedience are harbored they can greatly impede our walk with The Lord, and they can potentially put individuals at a very serious disadvantage, when it comes time to exercise a living faith during the difficult days ahead.
Hebrews 11:36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; 38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
