Genesis 17:23-25 23 On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him. 24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised, 25 and his son Ishmael was thirteen;
This is crazy to me. Here Abraham, and after a talk with god he goes back and circumcised all these people in one day. Think about it from their perspective. Abraham goes out and talks to God, afterwards he comes back and says that all the men must circumcise themselves. They probably thought Abraham was being ridiculous. This story to me shows how much trust Abraham has in God. To do something that seems crazy to everyone else because God told you to. I really feel like times in my life i give into the people telling me things are ridiculous, but her is an example of what happens if you follow what God has to tell you. He makes Abraham prosperous and his descendants numerous.
