Abraham was given an instruction and he was faithful to it, but when he arrived at his destination – The circumstances he had expected didn’t line up: So, he chooses to go down into Egypt….
-What Abraham didn’t understand is that God doesn’t always work “In a straight line” – in a way predictable to human understanding.
-Abraham allowed his circumstances to determine his direction – Leaving the Negev and going down into Egypt.
-Negative choices based on sight not faith – have corresponding outworking.
-But even though Abraham had lost his way spiritually speaking - God “shows up”- re-routes him through Divine Intervention and he journeys on to his Destiny.
God’s grace is offered to Abraham in spite of his failure – and is equally offered to you today: THAT IS WHAT THE GOSPEL JESUS TAUGHT IS ALL ABOUT: God is presenting you with an opportunity to “Turn your failure around”- He will still make something of your life!
