Genesis 12:4 So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5 Then Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they departed to go to the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan. 6 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, as far as the terebinth tree of Moreh. And the Canaanites were then in the land. 7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. 8And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.
When God told Abram to leave his country, He didn’t give him a destination. Abram was simply walking until God appeared and told Him to stop. Can you imagine what was going through Abram’s head? Can you imagine how many times he thought to himself “This is stupid?” This shows us the trust Abram had in God.
As we allow God to lead us, He may not always show us the big picture. He may have us take one step at a time. As we obey those steps, eventually, we’ll look up and be prospering in our purpose. But, it takes one step of obedience at a time.
Whether it be great or small, do the last thing God told you to do to position yourself to do the will of God.
