“By faith Abraham obeyed…And he went out, not knowing where he was going.” Hebrews 11:8 NKJV
Who among us wouldn’t like to have a success story like Abraham’s? He had fame, great riches, and “was even called the friend of God” (Jas 2:23 NLT). It doesn’t get better than that! But Abraham’s story begins with these words: “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.” How on earth did he do it? Why do we resist change? Doubt and fear! We fear personal loss. Anytime change is imminent, the first question that pops into our minds is, “How will it affect me?” For example, suppose a coworker approached you and says, “I just heard the boss is thinking about laying off some people today.” Is your first thought, “I wonder what market conditions triggered that decision?”Or is it, “I bet he feels bad about having to do that!” No, probably your first thought is, “Am I at risk?” That’s simply human nature. The second we face change, we can quickly feel alone and helpless. Where do you find such strength in such moments? In God! His promise is: “‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ So we may boldly say, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” (Heb 13:5-6 NKJV). Relax! That which is unknown to you is fully known to God. And the one who has always taken care of you has already gone ahead to prepare the way (See Dt 31:8).
