Without faith, we cannot obey God’s command.

God commanded Abram to go forth from his country Ur (Gen. 12:1; cf.: 11:28).

And God gave him the word of His promise (12:2-3).

Abram believed in His promise word and went forth from his country Ur (v. 4).

We must go forth with faith.

Even if it looks comfortable, familiar and good to us,

We must leave by faith if the Lord commands us to leave.

By faith, Abram left Ur in following the word of God

And went into the land of Canaan as God showed him (v. 5).

However, when he went into the land of Canaan there was famine instead of harvest (v. 10).

He could complain to God, ‘God, why didn’t You let me stay at my country Ur.

Why did you command to leave Ur and go into the land of Canaan where there is famine?’

But Abram didn’t complain to God.

There are many times we cannot understand about God's guidance with our understanding.

That’s why we disobey God’s command by relying on our own understanding and not trusting God (Prov. 3:5).

In disbelief, we disobey God’s command of ‘Leave and go’.

As a result, we aren’t experiencing the promise of God’s blessing.

Without faith, we cannot follow God’s Word.
