B Encouraged: Obedience Can Position Us to See God's Love and Goodness Beyond Our Fears (1/17/2022)

In Genesis 22, God calls Abraham to a high place to sacrifice his son. This, however, is a practice that God clearly hates. It is, also, a practice familiar to Abraham. Familiar in Mesopotamia. Familiar in Canaan. Often in our lives, when we trust God and move towards God's call - God is exposing lies and fears - confirming God's own goodness in places where fears and cultural lies are lurking. God brings freedom in the midst of our obedience. Be Encouraged God is faithful in God's goodness, freeing us from entrenched, faulty perspectives.
