'God Said "No" To Unbelief.'
Genesis 17:19.
a) After Abraham's response in unbelief.
b) God said "no" to him.
c) Abraham's wife, Sarah, was going to have a son.
d) God said: "His name shall be called Isaac.
e) I will establish My Covenant with him as an Everlasting Covenant, for his offspring after him."
(Through this QT I see that God Said "No" To Unbelief)
PRAYER: To be rid of any unbelief in our life.
------------
'Listening.'
a) Genesis 18:10. Sarah was listening at the tent door.
b) Genesis 27:5. Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to Esau.
c) 2 Samuel 20:17. Joab listened to the woman.
d) 1 Kings 8:28. Pray to God to listen to our cry and prayer.
e) Proverbs 25:12. A listening ear to a wise reprover is like a gold ring or ornament.
f) 2 Timothy 4:4. We are not to turn away from Listening to the Truth.
(This Second one urges me to listen well and to have a discerning mind)
PRAYER: For the Lord to help us to listen well.

Abraham could not respond to God in faith, so he responded in unbelief. God actually, in His Mercy, rebuked Abraham for this negative response and would not receive it. Isaac was going to be conceived and born and God was going to establish His Everlasting Covenant with him.
