O What Faith!



Abraham on so many occasions displayed remarkable faith. If we want to learn how to step out in faith we must look no further than Abraham.

The God of glory appeared to him and said "Get out of your country and from your relatives and comes to a land that I will show you." (Gen 12:1) Without question, without doubt, without specific direction, without instructions how to, without even knowing where he was going, Abraham got up and obeyed God.

Why? Because he knew His God.  He knew His God was a good God, a promise keeper, a faithful God, a trusting friend, the lover of his soul, his alpha and omega.  God knew the beginning from the end and God knew exactly what He was doing.  God also loved Abraham and had good plans for His life to prosper him and give him and future and a hope.  This unwavering intimate knowledge of his God was the solid foundation on which Abraham got up and went without even knowing where.  God knew and that's all he needed!

O What Faith!
