He went, not knowing

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. – Hebrews 11v8

I am always challenged by great examples of faith. If I am not careful I could get bogged down in the great faith chapter where God gives us example after example.

Here with Abraham we have an amazing example of pure faith. God told Abraham to go. He didn’t tell him where, just go. The amazing thing is that Abraham went!

In a day when we seem to want everything laid out for us, this is amazing. How many of us would be willing to go if God just said, ‘Load up and head out. You will know where you are going when you get there’?

Do any of us have Abraham like faith?
