“Now the LORD said to Abram, ‘Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father's house, To the land which I will show you.’” Genesis 12:1 (NASB95).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
Genesis 12 begins with God calling Abram to leave Haran, his relatives, and all that was comfortable and familiar to him and directing him to the Promised Land. One of the first things Abram encounters in the Promised Land is famine.
When God directs us, we should never assume His will comes without difficulty. However, the presence of difficulty doesn’t nullify God’s direction. Our faithfulness to Him should never be determined by surrounding circumstances. When God calls, follow Him. Rejoicing follows obedience.
