—Genesis 12:5-9
by: Dorothy Noel.
Abram took all his possessions (v.5). When God told him to move, he did not plan on coming back. How often, when God calls us, do we leave a breadcrumb trail back to where we started…just in case? Abram was wealthy enough to have left a small cohort behind to maintain a place in the society he left. But Abram trusted wholly, knowing God moves forward and has a plan A. Abram did not need a plan B when he was following God’s direct leading. Do not let preparedness and contingencies become an idol, displacing or usurping your trust in God’s never-ending work in your life and this world.
