From 'Go' to 'Went'

 Genesis 12:1 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.”

 Abram and his wife, Sarai, begin their journey after listening to God.

 Listening to God asks them to decide whether to stay in a place of predictability and comfort or to go on journey to a place only God knows.

 Is God inviting you to begin a journey into a land of blessing?

 First, listen for God to speak. Read God’s Word. Pray often. Worshiping God in community. So your ears become attuned to God’s voice.

 Second, when God say ‘go’, you must actually move, in faith, trusting that God knows the way to your place of blessing and that you do not need to know it.

 “So Abram went….” (v. 4)

 This is the most important part of any journey, and the most difficult, from God’s ‘go’ to your ‘went.’ Why did Abram and Sarai go with God? They had faith that God would never take them on a journey to a dead end.

 When your faith conquers your fear, you will see the land of promise God has prepared for you.
