Devotion:
Read Genesis 12:1-9.
The history of God’s people being a group on the move goes all the way back to God’s call to Abram to “Go...to the land I will show you.” Abram practiced an inside-out faith. What he believed in his mind and heart he put into practice. He turned trust into travel and experienced God in a unique way.
God chose Abram and invited him into a life of faith and adventure. It was indeed a LEAP of faith to pack up his entire family and start on a journey with a destination unknown. Abram was promised a land and a legacy. Abram experienced the land, but the legacy of a great nation to bless the world - well Abram took that on faith. His faith journey was filled with highs and lows and above it all Abram continued to trust God. When God said “Go” Abram moved. His faith was demonstrated in his obedience.
Personal Worship Option:
Be encouraged by the story of Abram who faithfully obeyed God in difficult situations. Today, ask God to help you be faithful under pressure and to have a willingness to obey without the end in sight.
