They also do no iniquity: they walk in His ways.
Psalm 119: 3
Walking with God requires us to obey the Word of God. Abraham was blessed because he obeyed the Word of God when He wanted Abraham to sacrifice Isaac.
And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him,
Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
And He said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest,
and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering
upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
Genesis 22:1-2
The Angel acknowledged Abraham’s act of obedience.
And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven and said,
“By myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this
and have not withheld your son, your only son,
I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring
as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore.
Verses 15-17
The second time Abraham was told where to go and he went there. Guess what? God blessed him with many things and he prospered.
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psalms 1: 1-3
Believers take Abraham as their Father of Faith according to Romans 4:16. You will realize that He did not come into being our Father of Faith just like that but he stood on the Word of God and loved to meditate on the Word of God and do as the God’s Word required.
Remember Psalm 119:105…
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
We can’t walk righteously and be blessed if we divert ourselves from His Word. Let us stand upon the Word of God and do as it is required of a Christian like you and me.

Father, we thank You for the word that comes to us at the right time. We pray for Your spirit to dwell in us all the time; for us to walk in Your ways and do as You want us to do. We pray for forgiveness for the times we have done it our way and ended up messing up. Forgive us all our iniquities. May Your presence be with us always. Give us a heart to make more time to meditate on your Word and do as you wish. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
