He just went... So Abram went, as the Lord had told him... Genesis 12:4 He just went! There doesn't seem to be any back and forth dialogue recorded between Abram and the Lord. The Lord spoke to him and he went. No guarantee of safe passage. No map as to exactly where to go. Just a promise of blessing. Quite remarkably, Abram follows God's call imperfectly. And yet God pours out his blessing on Abram and his descendants. God did not demand perfection from Abram…only faith. How often this is true in our own life. God calls us and invites us into his work. Often that invitation comes before any specific details. The Lord expects us to step out in faith, even if we do so imperfectly. And like Abram, the promise to us is also one of blessing. Is there something the Lord has been calling you to? Why not take that first step of faith today! Blessings,
Matthew+ O God, from whom all good proceeds: Grant that by your inspiration we may think those things that are right, and by your merciful guiding may do them; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (BCP p. 229) |
