Is your name synonymous with respect and leadership? (67-2)
Abraham is still held in high esteem by Jews and Gentiles alike. His name seems synonymous with respect and leadership. At least one of the reasons Abraham still enjoys this position of respect is because Abraham followed through on his commitments. Genesis 12-22
- When God called Abraham to depart to an unknown land, he went (Genesis 12).
- When Abraham offered Lot his choice of land, he took what was left (Genesis 13).
- When enemies abducted Lot and his goods, Abraham pursued the kidnappers and subdued them (Genesis 14).
- When commanded to circumcise the males of his household, Abraham did it “that very same day” (Genesis 17).
- When Abraham was asked to put his son Isaac on the alter he followed through to the last detail and only a last second intervention by God spared the young man’s life (Genesis 22).
Effective leaders make commitments and promises carefully because they are committed to follow through on the commitments they make.
