Genesis 12-25 [antikvár]

PREFACE In a world filled with insecurity and uncertainty, we must learn to walk by faith, or our lives will fall apart. This applies to all of God's children, regardless of how old we are or how long we have walked with the Lord. Living by faith means obeying God's Word in spite of feelings, circumstances, or consequences. It means holding on to God's truth no matter how heavy the burden or how dark the day, knowing that He is working out His perfect plan. It means living by promises and not by explanations. Abraham and Sarah are excellent teachers in the "School of Faith," and we are going to learn from them as we study Genesis 12-25 together. But faith is not something we study; it's something we practice. "By faith Abraham obeyed" (Heb. 11:8; italics mine). If you want your faith to grow, be obedient! While I was writing this book, my wife and I experienced some unexpected and painful tests of faith. As we prayed and meditated on the Word, we received the confidence and peace that God gives when you trust Him; and our own faith has been strengthened. As you study Be Obedient, your faith may be tested as ours was; but don't be afraid! Remember the words of Job: "But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold" Qob 23:10, niv). Warren W. Wiersbe
