By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

Hebrews 11:8 (NKJV)

 

Sometimes we are so used to a certain way of life that a change of season appears too difficult or disruptive to pursue. Often the fear of losing what we already have outweighs the blessings that God intends for us. If we are not willing to step out in faith and trust God for what lies ahead, we are forfeiting the joy of new beginnings and unexpected opportunities.

Abraham boldly stepped out to a land he had never gone before, and in return, he received an inheritance he had never had before. Abraham was not the father of faith or nations before embarking on his journey, but he inherited his title, wealth, and progeny through faithful obedience rather than his own human efforts.

If you truly want to live your Christian life to the fullest, you must forsake any desire to control your own destiny. Without a doubt, God desires to bless you; but you must allow Him to bless you in accordance with His purpose for your life. You may have no idea where you are heading, but God does. Simply reach out in faith and take the first step towards creating a new path for others to follow.
