Scripture lesson: Genesis 12:1-4 “Go... and he went”
Time to reflect: This is so stark and simply stated but can you think about what it must have been like for Abraham to leave everything he knew for a new and barbarous land?
Moving through the day: Have you ever felt that God wanted something impossibly hard from you? How did you react? How would you react if you became convinced God wanted you to drop everything and go serve elsewhere?
The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.
"I will make you into a great nation
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you."
So Abram left, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Haran.
