About this listen

Genesis 12-13 has some really great insights for us when we find and pursue big goals in our lives. It also has the amazingly perplexing story of Abram and Sarai in Egypt that we dig into. The key things we learn in this episode about big goals in our lives are:

  1. Listen for God's direction on big goals, just as Abram did in the beginning of Genesis 12
  2. Be ready to act: immediately after Abram hears God's call, he starts acting in accordance with that.
  3. Be ready to adjust: big goals require time and adjustment. Abram got to Canaan, but he needed to adjust his plan and temporarily go to Egypt because of famine
  4. Be prepared for success: when you have initial success you may have to adjust plans and change strategies. Abram had to separate from Lot because their mutual success put their people in conflict.
  5. When God gives you success, be grateful and continue. Abram built an altar to the Lord after he and Lot split, to show thanks to God for his success and continued help along the way towards his larger goal.
