An Amazing Testimony

 

Today's verse is Genesis 26:5

Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. 

    The law has not yet been given to Moses; how could Abraham have kept it? Do you not know that God is unchanging? Has not Paul told us that of the fruits of the Spirit, against such there is no law. Has not Peter told us that we receive God’s power, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue? But if you doubt that, God told Abraham to go to a land he did not know: He did. God told him to sacrifice his son: He obeyed. We know that Abraham walked with God, he communed with him, and as he did, he learned what pleased him and what did not, and he conformed his life to be pleasing to the One that promised to bless him, and Abraham was blessed. God has sought you, and he having been lifted up, draws you unto him. Will you, therefore, diligently seek the one that will reward you far above what you can ask or think? Will you with Moses, choose rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season? Even as he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. Amen.

To God be the Glory
