Passage : Hebrews 11"By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going." Hebrews 11:8
Abraham's faith in God led him to the unknown and by his obedience he received the promise. Obedience isn't obedience just because you agree with what you've been told to do. There is no obedience until there is action! Abraham is a great example to each of us of not only what faith is, but also what obedience is all about. It is venturing into the unknown because we are told to do so; it is obeying without question. Is there some area in your life where the Heavenly Father has been telling you what to do, either through His Word, or through the inner tugging of the Holy Spirit? You know it is right and you intend to listen, but you find yourself still sitting where you were when you first heard. Remember there can be no obedience until there is action. We need to be moving on it! This may mean we may have to leave our comfort zone; Abraham was called on to do so. He left his family, his security and followed God's orders, as sketchy as they were. He went forth and did what he was told without knowing for sure what the future held. Whatever it is that God has asked of you, great or small, do not put off obeying for a minute longer. Take action; move ahead and obey, not because you know where or how, but because you know who is it that asked it of you. Our Father would never steer us wrong.
