Hebrews 11:8 "By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going."
Abraham obeyed. He was called. He didn't know where he was going. Notice that there was action on his part: by faith and to go. By going, he was to receive an inheritance.
Romans 4:20-21 "No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. "
Abraham trusted. Notice it doesn't say no circumstances made him waver but no distrust. He grew strong. He gave glory to God. He was fully convinced that God would be faithful to what He promised.
Following the Lord will cost me. It involves risk. I am learning a lot about this lately by His mercy.
