"The Call" #2
You want me to go where?
Abram
(Abraham) (please read Genesis 12:1-4)
-Leave your
country and go to a place that I will show you (Let it go!)
"I will
bless those that bless you (Abram); but I will curse those who curse you.
Through you I will bless all the nations."
About 15 years ago, the Lord pressed
on our hearts as a family that we should leave where we had spent our entire
lives and move to Omaha, NE. After much prayer we became convicted that this
was God's will for us. Genesis 15:1 states, "Do not be afraid. I will shield
you from danger and give you a great reward." God is always faithful to His
promise as we have now become part of the beginnings of His Global Love.
This is a great adventure.
Questions:
1)
We
live in a world of, "What's in it for me"--the microwave generation of instant
gratification. Are you willing to stay true to your calling and take up your
cross to follow Jesus wherever He leads? (Mark 8:34).
2)
In
Psalm 40:5 we are told, "Lord you have made many wonderful plans for us." All
He needs is our "yes!" Are you willing to abandon it all and follow where He
leads you?
