Yesterday we learned about the importance of trusting God’s plan. But sometimes obeying Him isn’t easy. Whenever you face a difficult call, remember Abraham. In today’s passage, he was given one of the greatest tests recorded in the Bible, yet he obeyed willingly and promptly. His response teaches important lessons about yielding to God.
Sometimes obedience collides with human reason. The covenant God set up with Abraham and his descendants (Genesis 17:7) would pass down to Isaac, the child of promise (Gal. 4:28). Yet now the Lord was telling Abraham to sacrifice the boy.
Obedience always requires trust in God. Abraham obeyed because he trusted the Lord to fulfill the promise even if that meant his child would be raised from the dead (Heb. 11:17-19). He told his servants, “I and the boy will go over there; and we will worship and return to you,” indicating they’d both return (Gen. 22:5).
Obedience leaves the outcome to God. Abraham fully expected the Lord to preserve Isaac in order to keep His promise. But it was unexpected that God would provide a ram as a substitute sacrifice (vv. 12-14).
The Lord tests us in order to increase our obedience and faith in Him. Will you count God as trustworthy and yield to Him, or will you rely on your own imperfect human reasoning?
Wanting to hear one quick tip to revolutionize your workout routine? Wanting to learn how to lose 10 pounds of body fat in one week? Promises like these are not only misleading but can even be dangerous to your training regimen. Your training sessions don’t have to be anything special, as more minimalist strategies for hypertrophy are consistently reliable and often the most effective. Learn how simplifying your routine can benefit your goals and how to do so in the following paragraphs.
How you structure your training will be what sets you up to maximize weight loss or muscle building. There is no need to obsess over manipulating rest periods or hyper-fixating on specific sides of muscle groups, if getting the most out of your training is your goal. Instead, prioritizing consistency and effort will ensure you have the most effective training program without the headache. Having a clearly defined training split with clearly defined exercise progressions is what will set you out on top. Day after day putting in the work brings home the gains.
Compound Power
Beginning this simplification of training starts with exercise selection. Targeting compound exercises allows you to target whole muscle groups rather than minute details and gain muscle and strength in larger movement groups. Exercises that have movement over multiple joints, such as the bench press or deadlift work best to have these types of effects. There are compound movements for each body part: overhead press for shoulders, pull ups for back, or lunges for legs. Doing these exercises also comes at the benefit of functionality. Working movements instead of individual muscles builds strength that translates to all walks of life. Sticking with the fundamentals provides the foundation for everything else.
Modifications
Simplicity doesn’t mean abandoning all complexity. Incorporating unilateral training, range of motion emphasized work, or other focused endeavors will enhance the concise ways of training you’ve been implementing. Incorporating dumbbell work to target each side of the body which cannot be done as effectively with barbell work is great. Staggering training days in certain splits is also an effective way to maximize growth while minimizing overtraining. This will also help you splice in other forms of training, such as cardio or other wellness goals. With your fundamentals at the helm, your training eccentricities can thrive.
Keeping It Simple, Stupid
Whatever way you choose to train, focusing on the fundamentals will allow you to maximize your results in less time. Lifters of any discipline can benefit from taking the time to strip down their training regimen and finding out what is truly effective for building muscle and what would best be left behind. Last year may have been about different goals, but this year will be all about the right goals. Emphasize the training that works; get the most out of your gym.

It’s Moisturizing – honey is one of nature’s purest beauty remedies and can replenish moisture to even the driest skin types and has the power to moisturize oily skin without clogging pores. In addition to being majorly moisturizing, honey is known to leave the skin with a natural dewy glow.
It’s Anti-aging – since honey is full of antioxidants and nutrients to help boost skin cell production, it makes it a perfect ingredient to help fight free radical damage and signs of aging. Because of its moisturizing benefits, honey helps plump the skin resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Abraham is someone from whom we can learn valuable lessons. Over the course of his life, his faith grew. He came to understand how important trusting God is—and how costly impatience can be.
Abraham learned the hard way that manipulating circumstances can bring heartache. When he and his wife tried to help God out, the immediate result was jealousy, anger, and family strife. There was also a long-term consequence: a bloody conflict that still rages today between the descendants of Hagar’s son Ishmael and Sarah’s son Isaac.
The Lord promised Abraham and Sarah a baby, but they ended up waiting for the fulfillment until childbearing was humanly impossible. When Isaac was finally conceived and born, all the glory went to God.
Have you considered that delays in your life can also glorify God? Or are you trying to help Him out in an attempt to get what you want more quickly? Waiting is difficult, but it’s the only way we learn patience, which is precious to the Lord. When you experience a delay, use it as an opportunity to build your trust in God and your confidence in His wisdom and perfect plan.
