In today’s reading, we see that God called upon Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, and we learn that God’s name is Jehovah Jireh, our Provider (Genesis 22:14).

This entire scene presents a crisis of faith for Abraham. Remember, he has waited his ENTIRE LIFE for Isaac, and now God commands Abraham to KILL the very son promised to him! To make matters even worse and more confusing for Abraham, God does not even accept human sacrifices.

If you are wondering why God does this, remember that Abraham’s faith is undergoing a test. The sacrifice of Isaac also serves as a foreshadow of the future sacrifice of God’s promised beloved Son, Jesus.

How to Listen Actively

Samuel was one of the greatest prophets in the Old Testament. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence that his first assignment from God was to listen for God’s voice (see 1 Sam. 3:8-10).

Samuel’s story shows us that there’s a difference between active listening and passive hearing. Hearing is something we do with our ears. If our hearing is normal, we can’t help hearing sounds traveling within a certain range. Listening, however, involves the mind.

Genuine listening is active. It involves putting the mind in gear to hear everything that’s said as if it has meaning to the listener.

Some interesting feedback from the 2022 Polygon Bootcamp and Hackathon. More than 2,700 were selected for the bootcamp.. #PolygonAfrica #Web3Bootcamp

Polygon initially targeted to have 2,000 join the bootcamp but it was almost tripled. 5,419 from 43 different African countries registered and 2,700 were selected. #PolygonAfrica #Web3Bootcamp.

Given that this is the very first edition and also the very first of its kind in the continent, that turnout is colossal. We hope to see more of similar bootamps in the future #Web3Bootcamp #PolygonAfrica

“Ready! Aim! Fire!!”

To demonstrate the effectiveness of the bullet-proof Kevlar vests that police officers are to wear in the field, police departments employ a rather unusual training exercise.

Trainers dress mannequins in bullet-proof vests, and expert sharpshooters fire rounds into the vests.

Trainees then inspect the mannequins. The vests invariably pass the test with flying colors, as the dummies are unscathed.

Then the real test comes. Trainers ask the officers, “Now, who wants to put a vest on and test how well it works on you?”

Our Predisposition to Hear

What you hear from God is determined in part by the attitude you carry into any conversation with Him. Our mind-set toward a conversation with God is affected by these things:

· Our Prior Relationship With God — Each of us has a history with God that began even before birth (Jer. 1:5). He ordained us to be on earth, and He has a plan and purpose for us, even though we may not have recognized them.

However, until a person has received Jesus Christ as his personal Savior by faith, he will not be able to hear God speak on any subject other than salvation. If you’re having trouble hearing from God, you may need to re-evaluate your relationship with Him.

How to Tell If the Voice Is God’s, Not Satan’s

People often ask me, “When I listen for God to speak after I pray, I sometimes seem to hear two voices. How do I know if I’m hearing from God or Satan?”

This is a legitimate question because the enemy of our souls also attempts to speak to us. We know from Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness that Satan will try many tricks to convince us to listen to him instead of God (Matt. 4:1-11).

The apostle Peter warned us that the devil is always on the prowl, seeking to instill fear and confusion (1 Pet. 5:8). We must be on the alert continually to make certain we’re hearing God’s voice as we pray and listen for God’s answer.
