Going Where You Want me to Go. Ge. 12:1-8 God's call is to leave the bad, and cleave to the good. He calls us to do His will in our life. Christians are admonished to leave the ungodly, worldly lifestyle and to cleave to holiness, godliness, and purity. Paul in his epistle to the Colossians gives a list of sins we are to forsake and a list of traits to put on in our life (Colossians 3:8-12) After the death of Terah, Abram obeyed the Lord and departed for a country, not knowing exactly where he was going. He was leaping into the dark, yet trusting the Lord by faith (Heb. 11:8). The Christian life is a life of faith. The principles of God's Word can seem illogical sometimes and difficult to obey. For example, God says we are to love our enemies instead of hating them. For some folks, tithing can be very frightening for they feel they cannot afford to tithe and give to God what really belongs to Him. Yet, God promises to bless us even though we may not fully understand His Word or logically agree with it. Abram was a man of faith, as well as a man of great courage. When we live for Jesus Christ we are blessed and when we live in sin and for ourselves we pay a price for our sin and spiritually hurt and barren. We have our days of victory and fruitfulness and our days of defeat and barrenness. There is a constant tug of war taking place in our soul for control. A battle between our selfish, sinful nature and the Holy Spirit. Whomever we yield to gets the victory and the other loses. May we each day yield our life to the control of the Holy Spirit of God so that we may be consistently victorious in our walk with God.
