“In the Very Same Day…”

“In the Very Same Day…”

Blessings folk!

The Lord finished talking with Abraham.
The Lord then “went up from him.”

What was Abraham’s response?

Obedience.
He did what the Lord told him to do.
Read the account.

Gen 17:23-27

Then Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all the servants who were born in his house and all who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s household, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the very same day, as God had said to him.

Now Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

In the very same day Abraham was circumcised, and Ishmael his son.

All the men of his household, who were born in the house or bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.


Abraham and all his were circumcised.
On the same day.
Precisely as the Lord had directed.

Abraham was 99 years old.
Ishmael was 13 years old.

All submitted themselves to Abraham and the Lord.

We should do likewise.
Walk in immediate obedience to the command of the Lord.
Regardless of pain.
Regardless of our ability to understand the purpose.
Simple obedience.

Knowing that the Lord will protect.
Knowing that the Lord will heal.
Knowing that the Lord will honor His Word.
