(Hebrews 11:8 NKJV) By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
This is the summation of our walk with God; By Faith.
As we are children and we grow up, we are taught that we need to meticulously plan our every move. We need to plan for our future. We need to map everything out.
And while there is some truth to this, it leaves God out of the picture; eliminates “the faith factor”.
We, as God’s people, need to learn to live and move by faith. We need to learn to trust God so much that we can learn to walk in the kind of faith that Abraham had.
God told Abraham to go, but didn’t tell him where to go. Abraham obeyed, leaving behind all that was familiar to him. Was he perfect in his obedience? No. But he did obey and he did leave his homeland and venture out into the unknown.
There is a balance that we all need to work toward attaining. We need to be responsible, but we also need to trust God and have a level of faith that will carry us through whatever comes our way.
Trust God. Put Him first and everything else will follow.
