This morning I was reflecting on God calling Abraham in Genesis 12. It starts with God telling Abraham to leave his home and go to the place God would show him. In other words, start moving and God would tell him where to go along the way.
The part that stuck out to me was what else God said to Abraham in Genesis 12:2-3.
I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”
God already had the plan for what he was going to do for and through Abraham. Abraham just needed to step out, get moving.
The thought hit me of how God always has a reason, a plan, for why he calls us to do something. The blessing comes when we respond and step into the plan.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing for Abraham and his wife Sarah. They bumbled things at times. Abraham’s faith was tested. When his faith stood the test, the promised blessing was repeated.
Just because God has a plan for us does not mean it will always be easy going. There will be trials and tests along the way. But as Philippians 1:6 says, God will be faithful.
that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Many years ago, God showed me that he would reach wounded souls through me. I have certainly had my share of trials and tests along the way. I have had times of doubting and wondering how things would work out. But God has been faithful and yes, many wounded souls have been reached.
What is God calling you to?
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
