Our way of looking at something is only a small portion of what God's view on what is being asked. So if we don't follow what we need to do then it will have consequences in our lives which we will not want to have to deal with. Yes, and I'm going to say everyone probably has these things in their lives, even those that are not faithful have things that God asks of them. They just don't have the word of God before them to follow which direction or what to do,they just do what they feel. Yes, I am in the middle of something in my life that God is asking of me, and it is hard to do what is being asked. But sometimes you have to completely change your life in an instant to accomadate what is being asked. Abraham went through a lot of tests and trials during his life and all those were in obedience to God's asking him to do something. It's not always simple to follow what your being asked,sometimes it takes a lot of change and you go through a lot. But when you do it will help others to understand God the way you do.

You know Pastor, I'm not sure how to answer that one. I have felt God in my life a lot and a lot of times I start out to do what I assume is what he is asking and then it ends up stopped. I know a lot of that depends on my own thoughts and how I handle what is being asked of me, but it seems something is always blocking my way or slowing me down. Yes, I know that satin plays a role in blocking our paths when God asked something of us, but it's hard to define sometimes where to go with things and what to do with the resourses you have. I think that was probably a lot of Abrahams feelings, he had so many to take care of and at times he didn't know what God really was asking him to do. He was promised a nation and it was not given to him in his timeing or understanding. A lot depends on God's timeing and maybe when we are headed in a direction we feel God wants us to go, that along the way we are doing more then we think. God uses us no matter where we are ,so when we stop or feel we are stopped that maybe it is God's doing. Maybe God wanted us to take a break and do something right where we are and then God will move us forward, in His time. So I have stopped in my path many times, but my path is where God allows me to go and when. I just keep trying to go forward.
