God Calls Abraham
Genesis 12; 15; 17
God asks Abraham to leave his home and promises to make him the father of many nations.
The Story
God spoke to a man named Abram and said, 'Leave your country and go to a land I will show you. I will make you the father of a great nation, and through you all the world will be blessed.' Abram did not ask where. He simply obeyed. God changed his name to Abraham ('father of many') and promised him a son in his old age. Years later, God kept His promise, and Isaac was born.
The Lesson
God's promises are always kept, even when they seem impossible. Faith means trusting Him before we see the answer.
