Genesis 12 Now Adonai said to Avram, “Get yourself out of your country, away from your kinsmen and away from your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you. ² I will make of you a great nation, I will bless you, and I will make your name great; and you are to be a blessing. ³ I will bless those who bless you, but I will curse anyone who curses you; and by you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”

⁴ So Avram went, as Adonai had said to him, and Lot went with him. Avram was 75 years old when he left Haran. ⁵ Avram took his wife Sarai, his brother’s son Lot, and all their possessions which they had accumulated, as well as the people they had acquired in Haran; then they set out for the land of Kena‘an and entered the land of Kena‘an.

This week we will discuss another Patriarchal Forefather, Avram (Abram who became Abraham), the father of many nations. The first is very similar to the first key one is that verse 4 lets us know that Abraham did what the LORD told him to do and at the age of 75. The Most High asked him to leave his father’s house and his kinsmen (family) and go to a land far away. He had never been there before, but he gathered his wife, his nephew, and all of their possessions and sat off in obedience to G-d. And yes, we too find him in the Hebrews 11 Hall of Faith.

Faith and trust are necessary in our relationship with the Most High. Hebrews 11:6 tells us, “ And without trusting, it is impossible to be well pleasing to G-d, because whoever approaches him must trust that he does exist and that he becomes a Rewarder to those who seek him out.”

This needs to be one of our prayer points that the Most High will help us build our faith and trust in Him. Yes, situations to do so will occur but we have the Most High with us!
