It was by faith that Abraham obeyed the
summons to go out to a place
which he would eventually possess, and
he set out in
complete ignorance of his destination.
Hebrews 11:8
Imagine
this: your doorbell rings, and a man greets
you with a smile and a handshake.
He then says, “I’d like you to gather the family, pack everything of significance, rent a U-Haul trailer, load it all up, and be ready to set out tomorrow at noon." When you ask where exactly you are going to be going, you get a grin, and the assurance that at the point when you need to know that, you’ll be told that. “Just pack up your entire lives, pack food, drink and snacks for the journey, and follow Me.”
Would you do that? I don’t think I would, to be frank. But Abraham did just exactly that – instantly moving away from his comfortable life and the rest of his extended family, following God wherever He led..
For Abraham’s eyes were looking forward to
that city with solid foundations,
of which God Himself is both architect
and builder.
Hebrews 11:10
