Read along.
God tells Abraham to leave his country, his people, and his father's house. Three concentric circles of belonging, all gone.
And the destination? 'A land that I will show you.' Not a map. Not a brochure. Just a direction and a voice.
Faith almost always involves packing before you have the address. It's the willingness to move on incomplete information because the one calling you is complete.
Notice what comes next: 'I will make of you a great nation.' What God promises is always bigger than what he asks you to leave.
