“The Lord had said to Abram, ‘Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. . .’ So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him.” (Genesis 12: 1, 4a, NIV)
The Lord said, “Go. . . and I will show you. . .” The problem with us often is that we counter God with, “Show me, and I will go.”
This is why Abram (his name was later changed to Abraham) is regarded to this day as the “father of the faithful.” It is also why we miss-out on the adventure of walking with our heavenly Father.
When God calls, answer. Where God directs, follow. What God commands, obey. All who aspire to be as Abram was must make a conscious decision to “walk by faith, not by sight.” – Luther
