“The Land

That I Will Show You”

Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

So Abram went, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

Genesis 12:1-4

Have you ever taken the genuine leap of faith that God calls us to take, sometime in our lifetime? Do you go for the easy, or do you make that leap of faith?

If Abram had not taken that leap of faith, the world would be drastically different today. Is God calling you to do something different? Perhaps to make a missions trip to help people in need? Or to witness to someone throwing their life away with bad decisions. Or to show kindness and love in a relationship that needs encouragement. If you aren’t sure you can do it, ask God to help you. Then, trusting your loving heavenly Father, dive toward that goal. It could be the best move you ever take.

When God presents you with a challenge, take a leap of faith.
