"After all this..."

After all this, God tested Abraham.  God said, "Abraham!" "Yes?" answered Abraham. "I'm listening."  Genesis 22:1 (the Message)

Abraham's answer was "Yes, I'm listening,".  He was ready to trust God and obey because of all the stuff that had happened before the "After all this,."  The stuff before "After all this" is where Abraham learned to trust God.  Much of our lives are lived before the "After all this" period where we learn to Trust God.  I pray that one day when I'm in the "After all this" part of my life, that the Lord will still see fit to speak to me because He knows my answer will be "Yes, I'm listening."

I agree Stu. I am so proud of the way God has been speaking to you over the past months. Thanks for sharing your heart with us and for challenging us to listen.
