Today I read Genesis chapters 10 thru 12. There were alot of names to sift through, but were interesting to try to pronounce. Speaking of names, check out chapter 11. The people built a city with a tower to heaven all for the goal of making a name for themselves! Didn’t God just recently show HIS name and power by means of a flood? Surely the stories of the flood weren’t too far back from this crew in Babel… just a thought.

What really stood out was chapter 12 and the call of Abram by God.
“So Abram went, as the LORD had told him…” verse 4.

God called Abram out of his comfort zone and into a land that he knew nothing about. Abram packed it all up and moved to Caanan in utter obedience. Then God explained that Abram’s offspring would be a great nation. Little did Abram know that his ultimate offspring was Jesus! But, Abram stepped in faith and God lived up to His promise.

Is God calling you to step out in faith and obedience? Sometimes His call is not as audible as Abram’s was. Sometimes it is a quiet leading of the Spirit. Are you listening? Are you following God’s command? There is real blessing in going the way that the LORD tells you…
