“By faith Abraham, when he was called…went out, not knowing whither he went” (Hebrews 11:8).
Faith is a wonderful thing, for it believes God, and takes Him at His word, trusting that He will do what He has said He will do. Abraham lived in a place called Ur, and there he worshiped idols. But God called him, and told him to go out, intending to take him to the land of Canaan. Abraham believed God, and went out, although he was not even sure where he was going. But he trusted God, and He did not fail him. In natural things, we like to know exactly how the whole journey will go, but God wanted Abraham to be dependent on Him, and to look to Him for every step. God did not show him the whole way, but led him day by day.
So it ought to be with us. God will always show us the next step in our Christian pathway, and if He has not shown us anything for the moment, we should wait for Him. When it is time for us to make a move, if we are really wanting to do His will, He will make it very clear to us.
