Abram called on the name of the LORD

“And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai; Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.”

Earlier we read that the Lord appeared to Abram but now Abram called on the name of the LORD. He obeyed the Lord and set out on the journey that the Lord told him to take. However, he didn’t trust in the Lord when he was afraid and got into trouble. Finally Abraham acknowledged that he needed the Lord in every situation and he called on the name of the Lord. That is, Abraham opened his heart to the Lord and brought his troubles before the Lord and then opened his hear to hear what the Lord had to say to him. There are times in our lives when we have to rest from our struggles and just listen to the Lord, open our hearts to Him and rely on His wisdom.
