In other words, we can’t just “intend” to do something. Joyce says that one temptation is to expect other people to help us reach these goals and when we are not successful, the easiest excuse is to blame someone else or some past event in our life.Īndy Stanley says that in order to reach our goals we have to stay focused and be headed in the right direction. The premise of both books with regard to this verse is this: Why do we often not reach the goals we originally set? How do we get from where we are to where we want to be? He never reached his original destination. But when they came to Harran, they settled there.īasically, when Terah, the father of Abraham (then called Abram), set out for Canaan, he stopped short in a place called Harran and chose to simply settle there. Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. Out of all of the verses in the Bible, Genesis 11:31 is the key verse in both chapter 17 of Joyce’s book and in one of the first few chapters of Andy Stanley’s book. The dragging of my feet in completing this particular book has given me the chance to read this specific chapter at the same time as I was reading another great book entitled, The Principle of the Path, by Andy Stanley.
I don’t know why I am so surprised when God brings together different reading topics in my life at the exact time that truly weren’t suppose to be being read in correlation. Someone do it for me I don’t want to take the responsibility.
