“I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”
~Genesis 12:2-3
If I were in Abrahams's possition, I probably would have been a little sad or maybe even scared to all of a sudden leave my homeland and adjust to a totally new life, culture and people. But, I would also have prayed to keep my trust in God that he would take care of me and protect me every and anywhere I go. I am having a hard time thinking of a time where God has asked me to do something that may have posed as a challenge to me. Maybe it's not the greatest example, but I keep thinking of the time where I had an interview in Philidelphia for a job, and in a way, I wasn't looking as forward to it as I probalby should be because I was a little scared to have a job in a big city, if I had a good interview, and if they accepted me. I'm from a more rural area and so if I had to move to the city, I'd have to get used to something completely different that would be slightly out of my comfort zone.
