Genesis 12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken to him; and Lot went with him… I. AT FIRST, ABRAHAM'S OBEDIENCE WAS ONLY PARTIAL (Genesis 11:31). It becomes us to be very careful as to whom we take with us in our pilgrimage. We may make a fair start from our Ur; but if we take Terah with us, we shall not go far. Let us all beware of that fatal spirit of compromise, which tempts us to tarry where beloved ones bid us to stay. II. ABRAHAM'S OBEDIENCE WAS RENDERED POSSIBLE BY HIS FAITH (Genesis 12:4, 5). III. ABRAHAM'S OBEDIENCE WAS FINALLY VERY COMPLETE. (F. B. Meyer, B. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. |
