The Journey

Abram journeyed on, continuing toward the Negev.

Genesis 12:9

 

 

At the age of 75 God told Abram to walk out the door and take a journey. He left his country. He left his family. He left his home.  And, he didn't even know where he was going!

 

 



All of us are on a journey.  Now we may not be called upon to do as Abram did.  I don't know many who have left everything to "go".  But, I do know some. There are always new doors to open.  And, there is always an unknowing of what is beyond those doors.

The importance of Abram's story is not that God said leave it all behind and go.  The importance is that Abram went. In faith he obeyed. In trust he set out on a journey.

Each day we need to examine our lives and ask, "Where am I being led to journey today? What door should I open?"

The door and the path beyond it may be uncertain, even a little scary.

I would love to know how you face those journeys, those challenges, those changes, in your life.  Leave a comment and share.
