“By faith Abraham...went out, not knowing whither he went.”
At seventy-five years, Abram (along with his wife, Sarah, ten years his junior) began a second exciting venture. God can, and does, disturb us at any time of life. He does not ask us if it is convenient. He does it at His own will.
This nomadic life they were entering through the door of faith would cost them. They were to leave their comfortable life style, sacrificing home, loved ones, and friends, not to speak of financial security. He was not a young man thirsting for adventure when this disturbing challenge from God came to him.
I wonder sometimes if I can still pray the prayer of my youth and mean it. “Lord, anytime, any place, doing anything, at any cost.” I hope so.
