Genesis 22:3 - "So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him."
Our previous days of listening to the voice of God will result in that one day of obedience that will make us the men and women of God that He desires. Abraham had grown so accustomed to hearing God's voice that it was without debate when He declared that the patriarch was to sacrifice his own son. Those who have not allowed themselves to be trained by God's voice might have said, in similar circumstances, that it was a demon speaking! Immature believers can easily make the mistake of rebuking God when they believe what they are hearing can't be from God!
When we get to the place of hearing God's voice regularly, the "So" or the "Therefore" of the early morning's obedience will be something as natural as breathing. "So" we will rise early to complete whatever it is the Lord would have us do, no matter how unreasonable it may sound. When we pray for divine encounters and appointments, we had best be ready for something way out of our comfort zone as God sees what we are made of.
