The Lord Will

Genesis 13:4

β€œUnto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the Lord.”

KJV

Read in Genesis 13

Meaning

Abram returns to the earlier altar and again calls on the LORD, making renewed worship the climax of his return.

Read carefully

Calling on the LORD's name describes worship and invocation; the verse does not give a formula for controlling divine action.

Reflection

Abram's return is expressed not merely by geography but by renewed worship and renewed dependence on God.
