Obedience

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called . . . . And he went out, not knowing where he was going. —Hebrews 11:8

This month I am preaching a series based on Hebrews 11- the Faith Hall of Fame. This scripture is especially poignant to me because I have lived it out. I too went out, not knowing where I was going. It is kind of like God keeps us on a need to know basis. That is probably good because sometimes if we knew what He was calling us to we would be overwhelmed, balk or even refuse.

In Abraham’s case God called him to a new country that brought great wealth. He called Abraham to a new mission which made him the father of nations. And He called him obedient which placed him in the “Faith Hall of Fame” in Hebrews 11.
Listen up. When God is calling you He knows what He is doing. Your job . . . be obedient!
