And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: – Genesis 26:2
Isaac was one of those bible characters that had a life patterned after the voice of God. He was about to leave where he was resident for another country because of the famine they were experiencing in the country where he resided. However, his plan was interrupted by God's voice.
I'm intrigued by the fact that God specifically said He will tell him where to dwell.
This challenges me because I've had this desire and still desire to have that "hearing relationship" with God.
I see this and believe God wants all His loved children to actually have that kind of relationship with Him. God wants to tell everyone of His sons and daughters something, however, not everyone is going to hear Him because not everyone has trained themselves to do so.
All the time, for all situations in our lives, the Lord is willing to tell us something.
The question to us today is this: Just like any child or person will have to learn a language before they can understand whoever speaks in that language, are you willing to seek materials (books,messages,etc) and put in the efforts to hear from God?
God can tell you where to reside and where not to. He wants to tell you stuffs and details about your life. He is inviting you for this.
