Genesis 12:1
Then the Lord said to Abram, “Leave your country, your relatives, and your father’s family. Go to the land I will show you.
Following God is not always easy, but you are convinced that is the only way to real life and true joy.
As a follower, you are attentive to the One who is leading. You wait eagerly for His signals which indicate the need to slow down, speed up, or make a turn. Occasionally, you must even make a U-turn, which makes you feel as if you went the wrong way. However, even wrong turns are part of the journey, and the experience gained becomes a valuable reference point for the remaining journey ahead.
Since God designed you specifically for the road you will travel, equipping you with all the necessary provisions for a successful journey, the only thing you lack is the knowledge of where it might lead.
As you move toward your destiny, you learn that God does not reveal everything all at once. Your journey is one of personal discovery and growth.
You keep your undivided attention on the sound of God’s voice and you are always moving toward it. Sometimes it is a song, sometimes it is the wind, and sometimes it is the still small voice whispering your name in the midst of a storm.
Following God is a pleasure for you. As he directs, you happily tag along, never letting Him out of your sight.
As you remain alert to the changing landscape and split-second directives, you are able to avoid the pitfalls and potholes which may have caused injury.
You experience life in a more abundant way, thanks to your choice to travel the road that God chose just for you. The horizon is often hazy and uncertain. God usually doesn’t reveal the next step until you have picked up your foot from the last one. Yet, every stride becomes a place of new promise.
Letting go of what you are used to, and stepping out into the unknown is one of life’s most challenging experiences.
However, as the voice of God’s calls to you from the realm of the unknown, you cannot resist. Your heart is anxious, yet you are intrigued. Stepping out into the unknown, you find that the promises of God are waiting.
