Inside Outside: A Principle from Genesis 12

1 - The called of God will be presented with trying challenges when they obey God's commands (vv 7-10)

2 - Our nature can cause us to take actions contrary to God's will and may even have an appearance of success and wisdom in man's sight (vv 10-16)

3 - God will apply pressure from the outside when He's not getting through on the inside (vv 17-13:2)

4 - God will bring us back to where we should be, to cause us to call upon Him rightly (13:3-4)
