"Now the Lord had said unto me: Abraham, get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee."
Abraham 2:3
In reading this about Abraham we already know that Abraham was wildly successful in establishing himself in a new land, and his posterity and memory are ensured. However, when the Lord asks us to do similar things, we don't have the same benefit of hindsight. What we do have is God, and our faith in HIS sight. He knows absolutely how to help us and teach us to be better than we are, just like he knew for Abraham. If we follow his path, we will find everything we could ever want, and more.
That isn't to say that it will be easy. Abraham was asked to leave what he knew and everything he was familiar with, and go out into the unknown without knowing where he was going to stay or how he was going to survive. He trusted God... and so can we.
Today, let's remember that God sees more, and farther, than we can. *He* knows the way to happiness and peace better than we do. Let's trust that, even when it leads us to hard things, and look forward to the glorious future that God will help us to claim.
