The Lord had said to Abram,
"Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you."
Genesis 12:1 NIV
Sounds OK. Google maps, YouTube, learn a bit of the language, book some flights & hey Mum & Dad, we'll facetime every day, you can talk to the grandkids whenever you want...
Mmm Abram lived in a clan based, patriarchal culture, where land was wealth. He was asked to walk away from everything important, his future, put everything at risk.
And they may have literally been walking...
And where?
God says I'll show you later.
Do you trust me enough to just go?
Go without a plan?
Without a backup option?
Just go.
Where is He asking you and me to Go?
To forgive someone
To support someone
To be His hands and feet in the place you live, or across town, across the country or the world?
To serve in your family, church, community?
If He is calling will we just Go?
