GO!

  

GO!

Remember the game show, “Name that Tune.”

The first note in the song of our destiny is “GO.”

Everyone of us start with the same note or word.

It is how we respond that makes up the song.

Abram got the same note from God.

Abram trusted that God would finish the song

with each step of faith he took.

Hope you enjoy our look into the life of Abram.

 “Go to the land I will show you”

God revealed to Abram that

He had a purpose for his life.

Genesis 12:2-3 NIV

2 "I will make you into a great nation

and I will bless you;

I will make your name great,

and you will be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you,

and whoever curses you I will curse;

and all peoples on earth

will be blessed through you."

The interesting part is God doesn’t reveal

where Abram’s purpose will be fulfilled.

Abram is only told he must leave.

Genesis 12:1 NIV

"Leave your country,

your people

 and your father's household

and go to the land

I will show you.”

This seems to be God’s

“standard mode of operation”

God tells us He has formed us in our mother’s womb

and we ask ourselves the question, “Why?”

The “Why” question is answered for Abram at age 75.

As much as we would like to know our purpose,

we many times don’t know until

we have discovered the qualities God formed in us. 

Many people are afraid of God’s purpose.

But in reality, the person

who has discovered their purpose

and is living it out,

will find that their purpose

brings them joy.

Each one of us is just like Abram.

We have a purpose and a place

where that purpose is to be fulfilled.

The problem is in the instructions!

The instructions are

incomplete and vague,

but very simple:

“GO”

We have to put the directions

for our lives

in the hands of God.

God tells us that

the steps of a good person

are ordered by the Lord.

Each step Abram,

and those with him took,

had to be a step of faith.

The first step for Abram

was to step away from his security;

the familiar.

What steps do you need to take

to reach your God-given destiny?

Scripture Reading

 Genesis 11:27-12:3 NIV

27 This is the account of Terah.

Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran.

And Haran became the father of Lot.

28 While his father Terah was still alive,

Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, in the land of his birth.

29 Abram and Nahor both married.

The name of Abram's wife was Sarai,

and the name of Nahor's wife was Milcah;

she was the daughter of Haran,

the father of both Milcah and Iscah.

30 Now Sarai was barren; she had no children.

31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran,

and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram,

and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan.

 But when they came to Haran, they settled there.

32 Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Haran.

Genesis 12 NIV

12:1 The LORD had said to Abram,

"Leave your country,

your people

and your father's household

and go to the land

I will show you.

2 "I will make you into a great nation

and I will bless you;

I will make your name great,

and you will be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you,

and whoever curses you I will curse;

and all peoples on earth

will be blessed through you."
