WHERE EVER
Today's reading: Genesis 12-15

"Then the Lord told Abram, Leave your country, your relatives and your father's house, and go to the land that I will show you." Genesis 12:1 NLT

Maybe today you're wearing the same sandals Abram was wearing when God spoke to him.

--Has God asked you to go somewhere you had never planned to go? A place, as of yet, undisclosed, but promised? A place you're not sure you'll even like?

--Has God asked you to step out of your comfy, cozy spot?

--Has God given you a starring role in a life script you had not written, would not have written, and, to be quite honest, don't want to be in?

--Has God urged you to obey, not on the basis of what He would provide you as a reward, but solely on being obedient to your Father?

We've all been given a mission, been issued our traveling orders and, in some cases, been uprooted, and placed on the path towards righteousness kicking and screaming. We've been chosen as ones privileged to be blood-washed, cross-bought and Son-saved...and still have questions for God such as 'Why?, When?, Where?, and Really, Lord?'

We can walk or we can balk. We can smile or we can smirk. We can obey or we can disobey. We can have what we have now--or head on off on the journey He's calling us to take towards all He has planned for us.

I'm not sure what you're planning on doing--but I'm going with Him!
