Sometimes you have to dig in faith and dig to find your faith
Bible Gateway Genesis 12 :: NIV. The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
God counted Abraham righteous because he believed God!!! Just due to mere fact of life it might take some of us to dig to find our faith and or our belief system. Abraham just dug in faith so to speak because he just moved on God's command without question and believed that what God said would be so and acted upon it.
Refer to Genesis 22:1-19
He even had faith during the test of going to sacrifice his only son (born from promise) Issac he even told the servant once he found the place on the mountain while the sacrifice should be done to sysy here and I amd the lad will return. Issac even asked Father where is the sacrifice? Abram in faith said the Lord will provide a sacrifice even though he had no idea when, where, and or how God would do it but this had to be done as a foreshadowing of Jesus Father son sacrificial relationship with God!!! So you see Abraham dug with faith without worry and or doubt that God would keep his word!! We sometimes have to dig to find our faith not necessarily because we don't trust God but we haven't really been introduced to him and may not have a relationship with him. So we might have a hard time believing in a God you can't see. If you dont believe in him how in the world can you hear from him
When Abraham got to that mountain top he put his son on the altar to be a blood sacrifice in obedience to God and as he was living his had with knife to come down on his son. He heard the voice of the angel of the Lord Abraham Abraham stay your hand!!! This is so loaded because Isaac was being obedient to his father like unto Jesus bring led to the slaughter and opened not his mouth. Abraham in the fear and admiration of God and his complete faith he was ready to slay his only son that God blessed him with in his old age and because of his believe and faith in God and his relationship he was able to dig in faith so to speak and actually find the place where the sacrifice was supposed to be done. God only told him to go to the place of Moriah he said I will show you when you get there so he had to trust God that he would hear where the right mountain was he had faith that God would provide the sacrifice, and in that moment when he heard the angel if the Lord's voice call his name twice there was a ram in bush caught by it's horns!!!! That is symbolic of Jesus being on the cross with the cross if thorns on his head for the chastisement of our peace!!! But that ram that was the sacrifice that probably was making its way up the other side of the mountain led by God because he knew he could also trust Abraham that he would be obedient to find the place and to preform the sacrifice!!! So relationship is key and as said before some folks have to rely on what they see before they believe but that ought not to be so when as when the trying of our faith comes and it will come we have to be able to recognize the voice if so we won't slay the wrong sacrifice, so that we can be that sheep led by our Shepard. God doesn't have to be seen to be heard!!! Faith comes by hearing and that by the Word if God
I'm here to tell you you don't have to see God in physical form to see him. You can just look in the mirror or look outside and behold the beauty of the Lord as the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.
In others words if you allow yourself to open up your spirit you will feel God and see him too through his creation and the magnitude of the seen to be made of what is not seen
Hebrews 11:10 KJV
Heb 11:1-10 KJV
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that
