In this episode Erika unpacks a name Adonai - Lord. Abraham first used it in Genesis 15:2 when Abraham reminds God he doesn't have an heir. From this story and other verses, we find this aspect of God as master and ruler. We are reminded we are called to obey our Master - much like Abraham did in Genesis 22 when God told him to sacrifice his only son. But we also see how God as master is "my master." There is a close personal connection that reminds us we are in a relationship that allows us to cry out to "my master" whenever we need Him.
