In my earlier thought on Hearing God's Voice, I had shared a principle that hearing God shouldn't stop with us just hearing Him once, but that it's an ongoing process!
As long as He speaks, we need to be willing to listen!
Here's another small exhortation to re-inforce that thought.
Genesis 22:2 - "Then God said, 'Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about'."
God, who was so specific in calling Abraham by name in vs.1; and even more clearer in vs.2 about 'your son..' & then 'your only son' & then 'Isaac' & then yet again 'whom you love' ... and having mentioned the region of Moriah ... couldn't He have had just mentioned which mountain it should be?
Why tell him, '.. I will tell you about ..' it at a later stage??
I believe, generally speaking, God wants us to keep listening to Him.
Herein also is the fact, that God had other ideas in mind, and He ensured that Abraham had to keep listening ..
... and that is the fact, He was going to ask Abraham to stop killing his son (which might seem contradictory to what he was asked to do in the first place).
Are we willing to listen to Him?
Let's not quit listening to Him, as we might end up loosing something which we shouldn't be?
Let's not quit listening to Him, lest we don't receive or experience something which He wants us to!!
Let's listen and grow in our obedience to our Master.
